When you ask for so little,
but you're let down again
When nothing in your life
makes sense as it should
When none of the pieces
fit like they did back then
And it feels like the life
you knew is gone for good

When life sweeps away
the plans you've made
When you see your pain
in someone's eyes
When all your dreams
feel like a big charade
And everything you've
clung to was just lies

There's gotta be more
than the static in my head!
More than the regrets
of everything left unsaid!
There's gotta be more
than this cycle of pain!
More than rising and
falling again and again!
There's gotta be more
than this weight on my chest!
More than wondering
if all this pain is just a test!
There's gotta be more
than barely getting by
More than failing,
no matter how hard I try

When you expect the push,
but still take the fall
When you can't see ahead
with the past in the way
When you wonder why
you even keep trying at all
And you don't want to go,
but know you cant stay

There's gotta be more
than the static in my head!
More than the regrets
of everything left unsaid!
There's gotta be more
than this cycle of pain!
More than rising and
falling again and again!
There's gotta be more
than this weight on my chest!
More than wondering
if all this pain is just a test!
There's gotta be more
than barely getting by
More than failing,
no matter how hard I try

I need to know there's
more to life than losing
Because I've tried to win,
and it's so confusing
Oh and it's breaking me
what I'm going through
I could really use
some good news
I could really use you&

There's gotta be more
than the static in my head!
More than the regrets
of everything left unsaid!
There's gotta be more
than this cycle of pain!
More than rising and
falling again and again!
There's gotta be more
than this weight on my chest!
More than wondering
if all this pain is just a test!
There's gotta be more
than barely getting by
More than failing,
no matter how hard I try

When everything seems
to fall apart in your hands
When it seems misery
is all that's left in store
When it feels like life is
making too many demands
And all you can do is say,
I can't take this anymore&

Ashtan I will return you to Ash...
