    Lyrics:

    Please sing to me,
    I can see you open up to breathe.
    Fast words make it easier on me,
    If the point is to never disappoint you,
    Somebodies got to tell me what to do.
    Just wish you could've seen me
    When it used to come so easy.
    I like to say it's easy to stay
    But it's not for me,
    Cause I'm barely here at all.

    Slow down now, the secrets out.
    And I swear now everything is perfect.
    What you want, what you need has been killing me.
    Try to be everything that you want me to be.
    I say yes, I'll undress, I've done more for less.
    Now I'll change everything until it's perfect again.

    Coming down, coming around,
    Giving a frown to the sound when I hit ground.
    I hate the way that I say I should say
    When I know that I don't give a fuck about it anyway.
    Shake hands, and shoot smiles all around,
    As I sell my body by the pound.
    Sign my name on the dotted line,
    It would be fate, to not resuscitate.

    Slow down now, the secrets out.
    And I swear now I'll still make this perfect.
    What you want, what you need has been killing me.
    Try to be everything that you want me to be.
    I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
    Now I'll change everything till it's perfect again.

    I think it's better this way,
    This is good in a bad way.
    It's better this way.
    I'll make this perfect again.
    I'll make this perfect again.

    What you want, what you need has been killing me.
    And I will change everything you want me to be.
    I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
    Now I'll change everything, whoa yeah.
    What you want, what you need has been killing me.
    (I'll make this perfect again.)
    Try to be everything that you want me to be.
    I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
    Now I'll change everything, I'll make this perfect again.

    Lyrics:
     

     
    Walk home
    Drowning these memories in the rain
    Biting my lip
    To transfer this pain

    You're gone
    And I'm still going through withdrawl
    Next time around
    I'll build a stronger wall

    You broke my guard with guiltless eyes
    Divide me like a virus from inside
    And came back just to salt the wounds
    Now thanks to you...

    I start runnin now
    (I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
    I start runnin away
    When I get too close I'm scared to stay
    I start runnin now
    (I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
    I start runnin away
    Now others pay for your mistakes

    You needed
    More attention than I gave
    Instead of talking
    You just played games

    And smiled
    As my whole world became unstitched
    I wish I'd known
    You would be such a heartless bitch

    You broke my guard with guiltless eyes
    Divide me like a virus from inside
    And came back just to salt the wounds
    Now thanks to you...

    I start runnin now
    (I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
    I start runnin away
    When I get too close I'm scared to stay
    I start runnin now
    (I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
    I start runnin away
    Now others pay for your mistakes

    I start runnin now
    I start runnin away
    When I get too close I'm scared to stay
    I start runnin now
    I start runnin away
    Now others pay for your mistakes

    I start runnin now
    (I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
    I start runnin away
    When I get too close I'm scared to stay
    I start runnin now
    (I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
    I start runnin away
    Now others pay for your mistakes

     
    




     
    We have come to the decision that we will use our first choice 'Perfect' Marianas Trench. The plus side of choosing this song is that it has no original video, therefore the audience wouldn't assosiate the original with our video and we won't have the tendancy to keep looking back at it and copy certain elements.
