The Chronicles Of Life And Death lyrics - Good Charlotte

You come in cold,

You're covered in blood.

They're all so happy you've arrived.

The doctor cuts your cord.

He hands you to your mom.

She sets you free into this life.

And where do you go with no destination, no maps to guide you.

Wouldn't you know that it doesn't matter, we all end up the same.

These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.

These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.

You come in this world, and you go out just the same.

Today could be the best day of your life.

And money talks in this world,

That's what idiots will say

But you'll find out that this world,

Is just an idiots parade

Before you go, you've got some questions.

And you want answers

But now you’re old, cold, covered in blood,

right back to where you started from

These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.

These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.

You come in this world, and you go out just the same.

Today could be the worst day of your life.

But these are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.

These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.

You come in this world, and you go out just the same.

Today could be the best day of,

Today could be the worst day of,

Today could be the last day of your life.

It's your life, your life.

Walk Away (Maybe) lyrics - Good Charlotte

I made this bed

I choose to lie in it

Live with my regrets

Sleep with what I said

Could this be the end

Am I standing on the edge

Of everything I wanted now

I was afraid

I was afraid

Maybe I’m just scared

To face the things I fear

It's easier to walk away from everything

Separate my soul

With all the things we shared

I’m fallin' to pieces now

Say a prayer for me

When you go to bed

I’m in need of your faith now

I was afraid

Maybe I’m just scared

To face the things I fear

It's easier to walk away from everything

If we could just reset

And live in happiness

Instead of our regrets

We'd salvage everything

We don't have to walk away

Pray for me now

I’m in need of faith

Pray for me now

I’m in need

Maybe I’m just scared

To face the things I feared

It's easier to walk away from everything

If we could just reset

And live in happiness

Instead of our regrets

We'd salvage everything

Maybe I’m just scared

To face the things I failed

It's easier to walk away from everything

Walk away from everything

Walk away from everything

S.O.S. lyrics - Good Charlotte

Is anybody listening?

Can they hear me when I call?

I'm shooting signals in the air

'Cause I need somebody's help

I can't make it on my own

So I'm giving up myself

Is anybody listening?

Listening

I've been stranded here and I'm miles away

Making signals hoping they'd save me

I lock myself inside these walls

'Cause out there I'm always wrong

I don't think I'm gonna make it

So while I'm sitting here

On the eve of my defeat

I'll write this letter and hope it saves me

Is anybody listening?

Can they hear me when I call?

Shooting signals in the air

'Cause I need somebody's help

I can't make it on my own

So I'm giving up myself

Is anybody listening?

Listening

I'm stuck in my own head and I'm oceans away

Would anybody notice if I chose to stay?

I'll send an SOS tonight

Wonder if I will survive

How in the hell did I get so far away this time

So now I'm sitting here

The time of my departure's near

I say a prayer

Please someone save me

Is anybody listening?

Can they hear me when I call?

Shooting signals in the air

'Cause I need somebody's help

I can't make it on my own

So I'm giving up myself

Is anybody listening?

Listening

I'm lost here

I can't make it on my own

I don't wanna die alone

I'm so scared

Drowning now

Reaching out

Holding on to everything I know

Crying out

Dying now

Need some help

Is anybody listening?

Can you hear me when I call?

Shooting signals in the air

I need somebody's help

I can't make it on my own

So I'm giving up myself

Is anybody listening?

I Just Wanna Live lyrics - Good Charlotte

I need an alarm system in my house

So I know when people are

Creeping about

These people are

Freaking me out (these days)

It’s getting hectic everywhere that I go

They won’t leave me alone

There’s things they all wanna know

I'm paranoid of all the people I meet

Why are they talking to me?

And why can’t anyone see

I just wanna live

Don’t really care about the things that they say

Don’t really care about what happens to me

I just wanna live

Just wanna live [x6]

I rock a

Lawsuit when I’m going to court

A white suit when I’m gettin’ divorced

A black suit at the funeral home

And my birthday suit when I’m home alone

Talkin’ on the phone

Got an interview

With the rolling stone

They’re saying

“Now you’re rich and

Now you’re famous

Fake ass girls all know your name and

Lifestyles of the rich and famous

Your first hit aren’t you ashamed?”

Of the life [x2]

Of the life we’re livin’

I just wanna live

Don’t really care about the things that they say

Don’t really care about what happens to me

I just wanna live

Stop your messin’ around boy

Better think of your future

Better make some good plans boy

Said everyone of my teachers

Lookout

You better play it safe

You never know what hard times will come your way

We say

Where we’re coming from

We’ve already seen

The worst that this life can bring

Now we expect it everywhere that we go

All the things that they say

Yeah we already know

I just wanna live

Don’t really care about the things that they say

Don’t really care about what happens to me

Just wanna live [x3]

I just wanna live

Just wanna live [x3]

I just wanna live

Just wanna live [x3]

Don’t really care about the things that they say

Just wanna live [x3]

Don’t really care about what happens to me

I just wanna live

Ghost Of You lyrics - Good Charlotte

I will wait until the end

When the pendulum will swing back

to the darker side of our hearts bleeding

I will save this empty space

next to me like its a grave

where I lay a place for us to sleep eternally together

I have been

Searching for

Traces of

What we were

A ghost of you

is all that I have left

is all that I have left of you to hold

I wake in the night to find there's no one there but me

and nothing left of what we were at all

So here I am pacing around this house again

With pictures of us living on these walls

I see my breath in the cold of the air that I breathe and I'm wondering

I'm wondering if its you that i feel if its you that i feel here haunting me forever

I have been

Searching for

Traces of

What we were

A ghost of you

is all that I have left

is all that I have left of you to hold

I wake in the night to find there's no one there but me

and nothing left of what we were at all

and I'm not looking for

anything but us

anything but what we were

and I'm not asking for

painted memories

I only want to know you're here

A ghost of you

is all that I have left

is all that I have left of you to hold

I wake in the night to find theres no one there but me

and nothing left of what we were at all

A ghost of you

is all that I have left

is all that I have left of you to hold

I wake in the night to find theres no one there but me

and nothing left of what we were at all.

Predictable lyrics - Good Charlotte

Something isn't right

I can feel it again feel it again

This isn't the first time

That you left me waiting

Sad excuses and false hopes high

I saw this coming still I don't know why

I let you in

I knew it all along

You're so predictable

I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)

So you don't have to call

Or say anything at all

You're so predictable (so predictable)

So take your empty words your broken promises

And all the time you stole cause I am done with this

I can give it away give it away

I'm doing everything I should've

And now I'm making a change

I'm living the day

I'm giving back what you gave me

I don't need anything

I knew it all along

You're so predictable

I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)

So you don't have to call

Or say anything at all

You're so predictable (so predictable)

Everywhere I go

Everyone I meet

Every time I try to fall in love

They all wanna know why I'm so broken

Why am I so cold

Why I'm so hard inside.

Why am I scared

What am I afraid of

I don't even know

This story's never had an end

I've been waiting

I've been searching

I've been hoping

I've been dreaming you would come back

But I know the ending of this story

You're never coming back

Never..never..never..never.....[echo].....

I knew it all along

You're so predictable

I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)

So you don't have to call

Or say anything at all

You're so predictable (so predictable)

Everywhere I go for the rest of my life (so predictable)

Everyone that I love

Everyone I care about

They're all gonna wanna know what's wrong with me (so predictable)

And I know what it is

I'm ending this right now..

Secrets lyrics - Good Charlotte

In the dark

In the darkness you will find

Dirty little secrets we all hide

Cause' we all have a darker side

A place we keep where no one else will find

Cause' everybody wants to hide their secrets away

Nobody wants to stand up to the pain

But I will stand up to the pain

Wake up and fight again

If you could dance with me through this rain

And we will fight, we’ll fight again, fight again

In the back, in the closets of your mind

Thats where skeletons and dirty secrets hide

And I'll rip out my insides

And leave them on display for you tonight

Cause' everybody wants to hide their secrets away

Nobody wants to stand up to the pain

But I will stand up to the pain

Wake up and fight again

If you could dance with me through this rain

And we will fight, we’ll fight again, fight again

(fight again, fight again)…

All my life I hide my secrets away,

In the dark, in the dark, in the dark

We all try to hide our secrets away,

In the dark, in the dark, in the dark

Stand up to the pain

Wake up and fight again

If you could dance with me through this rain

And we will fight, we’ll fight again, fight again

Fight again

Cause' everybody wants to hide their secrets away

And that’s ok

Nobody wants to stand up to the pain

Fight again

The Truth lyrics - Good Charlotte

So here we are

We are alone

There’s weight on your mind

I wanna know

The truth

If this is how you feel

Say it to me

If this was ever real

I want the truth from you

Give me the truth even if it hurts me

[x2]

I want the truth

So this is you

You're talking to me

You found a million ways to let me down

So I’m not hurt when you’re not around

I was blind

But now I see

This is how you feel

Just say it to me

If this was ever real

I want the truth from you

Give me the truth even if it hurts me

[x2]

I know that this will break me

I know that this might make me cry

You gotta say what’s on your mind, on your mind

I know that this will hurt me

And break my heart and soul inside

But I don’t wanna live this lie

I want the truth from you

Give me the truth even if it hurts me

I want the truth from you

Give me the truth even if it hurts

I don’t care no more, no

Just give me the truth

Give me the truth

'Cause I don’t care no more

Give me the truth

'Cause I don’t care no more, no

Just give me the truth

Give me the truth

Give me the truth

Give me the truth

Give me the truth

'Cause I don’t care no more, no

The World Is Black lyrics - Good Charlotte

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight

You see the same damn thing it's just a different day and

No one really knows why this is happening

But it's happening

And everywhere you go it's just a different place

You get the same dark feeling

See the same sad faces

No one really cares that this is happening

We come into this world

And we all are the same

In that moment there's no one to blame

But the world is black

And hearts are cold

And there's no hope

That's what we're told

And we can't go back

It won't be the same

Forever changed

By the things we've seen, seen

Living in this place it's always been this way

There's no one doing nothing so there's nothing changed

And I can't live when this world just keeps dying

It's dying

People always tell me this is part of the plan

That God's got everybody in His hands

But I can only pray that God is listening

Is He listening?

We're living in this world

Growing colder everyday

Nothing can stay perfect now I see

But the world is black

And hearts are cold

And there's no hope

That's what we're told

And we can't go back

It won't be the same

Forever changed

By the things we've seen, seen, seen

We come into this world

And we all are the same

And in that moment there's no one to blame

But we're living in this world

Growing colder everyday

Nothing can stay perfect now I see

The world is black

And hearts are cold

There's no hope

That's what we're told

And we can't go back

(We can't go back)

It won't be the same

(It won't be the same)

Forever changed

(What will ever change)

By the things we've seen, seen, seen

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight

You see the same damn thing it's just a different day

And no one really knows why this is happening

Mountain lyrics - Good Charlotte

All these dreams and all these plans,

I built them all with these two hands,

Everything I've realized my dreams.

The city lights shine down and they blind me sometimes,

But through it all I was lost but I found my way

So tell me what you want 'cause I would give you anything,

Tell me what you need and I'll go get it.

I'd give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now,

I'd give up everything and I'd forget it.

I wasn't on a mountain

When it came to me.

All my life's been wasted,

Chasing shallow dreams.

So here we are,

Let me lift you up and show you this world over me,

And all these things what I've gained and what I've seen,

It can't compare to the love that you could give to me.

So tell me what you want 'cause I would give you anything,

Tell me what you need and I'll go get it.

I'd give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now,

I'd give up everything and I'd forget it.

I wasn't on a mountain

When it came to me.

All my life's been wasted,

Chasing shallow dreams.

Years go by

And nothing's slowing down the time

Years go by

And then they're wasted.

All this time

I thought that I gained everything,

If you are not mine

I'm so empty.

I wasn't on a mountain

When it came, when it came to me.

All my life's been wasted,

Chasing shallow dreams.

So please come back to me, I'm right here waiting

So please come back to me now...

We Believe lyrics - Good Charlotte

There's a woman crying out tonight

Her world has changed

She asks God why

Her only son has died

And now her daughter cries

She can't sleep at night

Downtown

Another day for all the suits and ties

Another war to fight

There's no regard for life

How do they sleep at night

How can we make things right?

Just wanna make this right

We believe

We believe

We believe

We believe

We believe

We believe

In this love

We are all the same

Human in all our ways and all our pain

(So let it be)

There's a love that could fall down like rain

(Let us see)

Let forgiveness wash away the pain

(What we need)

And no one really knows what they are searching for

(We believe)

This world is crying for so much more

We believe

We believe

We believe

We believe

We believe

We believe

In this love

We believe

We believe

We believe

We believe

We believe

In this love

So this world

Is too much

For you to take

Just lay it down and follow me

I'll be everything you need

In every way

We believe

We believe

We believe

We believe

We believe

We believe

In this love

(In this love)

We believe

(In this love)

We believe

(In this love)

We believe

(In this love)

It Wasn't Enough lyrics - Good Charlotte

It wasn't enough [x3]

I will try to believe in the things I cannot see

But my faith is shaken now like it's never been before

When I call

And you don't come

I don't know what I should do

Should I call?

Should I even count on you?

[Chorus:]

I've given all I can

It wasn't enough

To keep you in my hands

Should I give up?

I try to understand

Was it ever enough?

I don't understand

So here I am once again

With my back against the wall

Afraid to show you

Afraid to tell you

I don't know you like I did

I've never been so alone

I've never felt so insecure

And now I don't know where I'm going

In my life I'm not so sure

[Chorus]

Giving up tonight

I won't let go

Won't let go of you

Giving up tonight

I wanna show you

Wanna show you

Giving up tonight

I won't let go

Won't let go of you

Giving up tonight

Am I giving up?

Giving up

I don't wanna give this up

I won't

[Chorus]

Everything you want from me

I fought so hard for everything

Everything you want from me

I tried so hard could never be

Anything you want from me

Anything you want from me

Anything you want from me

I gave it all

In This World (Murder) lyrics - Good Charlotte

In this world all of our sins are simple

We choose death over innocent life

And in this world it's not our money that's evil

It's the one's who choose it over life

And in my heart I cannot believe in this murder

And I will not be fed by the lies

Or the life that's created just to be murdered

It's murder

No matter how hard they try and

No matter how loud they cry

They can't

Buy their way into heaven

No matter how hard they try and

No matter how high they climb up the ladder

They won't reach up into heaven

And they can't see

The innocent lives

The pointless suffering

And in my heart I wanna undo all this murder

And give back their innocent life

Open cages and stop their luxurious murder

It's murder

No matter how hard they try and

No matter how loud they cry

They can't

Buy their way into heaven

No matter how hard they try and

No matter how high they climb up the ladder

They won't reach up into heaven

Murder

Innocent Life

Innocent what...

What have we done?

No mercy (No matter how hard they try)

For beautiful money (and no matter how loud they cry)

Money for blood (they can't buy their way into heaven)

It's murder

No matter how hard they try and

No matter how high they climb up the ladder

They won't reach up into heaven

No matter how hard they try and

No matter how loud they cry

They can't

Buy their way into heaven [Fading away]

Falling Away lyrics - Good Charlotte

And tonight we burn down everything

We worked so hard to build

The ashes will reign down on me

Memories set aflame, sail away

What we said if we can make this

Then we can break this into two memories

I feel you fallin' away

I feel you fallin' away

I feel you fallin' away from me again

[x2]

And tonight I will be a vessel

With these sails set aflame

Let this ocean of our memories

Carry me out to sea, I will be

Fall beneath the crashing waves into my grave

I will sleep

I feel you fallin' away

I feel you fallin' away

I feel you fallin' away from me again

[x4]

If we can make this

then we can break it

if we can build it

then we can burn it down

I feel you fallin' away

I feel you fallin' away

I feel you fallin' away from me again

[x3]

And now you're farther away

now you're farther away

now you're farther away from me again

[x4]

Meet My Maker lyrics - Good Charlotte

(This is the way I'll meet my maker tonight)

So this is it

This is my life

This is my time

It's ending tonight

I made my mistakes

I tried to live right

Stepped out of the darkness into the light

And when I'm gone

Will they remember

Will they mourn

Will they move on

When my sad songs for lonely son

His time has come his life is done

And tonight

We'll celebrate the end

Of this life

And we'll sing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Whhooaa aaooohh

It's alright

this is a night like we've began

With open arms

This is the way

The way I'll meet my maker tonight

And on my grave

What will it say?

Here lies another soul that was saved

So please don't cry

Just sleep at night

And I will wait on the other side

And tonight

we'll celebrate the end

Of this life

And we'll sing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Whooaahh ooohhh

It's alright

This is a night like we've began

With open arms

This is the way

The way I'll meet my maker tonight

And tonight

We'll celebrate the end

Of this life

And we'll sing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Whooaaa ooohh

It's alright

This is a night like we've began

With open arms

This is the way

The way I'll meet my maker tonight

Whhoooaaa oohhh [x12]

Wounded lyrics - Good Charlotte

Lost and broken,

Hopeless and lonely.

Smiling on the outside,

and hurt beneath my skin.

My eyes are fading,

My soul is bleeding.

I'll try to make it seem okay,

But my faith is wearing thin.

So help me heal these wounds,

They've been open for way too long.

Help me fill this soul,

Even though this is not your fault,

That I'm open,

And I'm bleeding,

All over your brand new rug.

And I need someone to help me sew them up.

I only wanted a magazine,

I only wanted a movie screen,

I only wanted the life I'd read about and dreamed.

And now my mind is an open book,

And now my heart is an open wound,

And now my life is an open soul for all to see.

But help me heal these wounds,

They've been open for way too long.

Help me fill this soul,

Even though this is not your fault,

That I'm open and I'm bleeding,

All over your brand new rug.

And I need someone to help me,

So you come along,

I push you away,

Then kick and scream for you to stay.

Cuz I need someone to help me,

Oh I need someone to help me,

To help me heal these wounds,

They've been open for way too long.

Help me fill this soul,

Even though this is not your fault,

That I'm open,

And I'm bleeding,

All over your brand new rug.

And I need someone to help me sew them,

I need someone to help me fill them,

I need someone to help me close them up.
