(album: Closing Arguments - 2009)

She's been crying
Tears are still welled up in her eyes
Mascara stains on pillow sheets don't lie
You were here again last night
You'd be lying through your teeth
If you say that you think you can change
Revert back to your glory days
When voices never raised

Nervous laughter can't erase
That sleeping with pills keeps her safe
It kills me the time that you'll waste
On a bitter escape
Your silence says it all
The tension, it echos the halls
Subsides as your fist hits the walls
As her empathy falls

Stand up (Stand up)
Even the coldest of hearts are breaking, breaking, broken down
You've made up (Made up)
This person she loved for so long, so long, long enough
I'll be watching you, watching her, watching out

You used to be so sweet
When she was mad you'd stand on her street
Stare at the ground and shuffle your feet
Till her anger can't compete
But now those days are gone
The fire's been burnt out so long
Sex has become a passionless song
A passionless song

Stand up (Stand up)
Even the coldest of hearts are breaking, breaking, broken down
You've made up (Made up)
This person she loved for so long, so long, long enough
I'll be watching you, watching her, watching out

You finished your last bottled lie
It's time you're done taking her for the ride
Of her life
You finished your last bottled lie (Do you wanna be empty, just like you were before?)
(Don't write don't call her anymore)
It's time you're done taking her for the ride (Another chance is all that I'm asking for)
Of her life
You finished your last bottled lie (Do you wanna be empty, just like you were before?)
(Don't write don't call her anymore)
It's time you're done taking her for the ride

Every devil has its day
Yet seven hundred and forty-eight
How long did you think she would wait?
Did you think she would wait?
She's got a ticket in her hand
It wasn't a part of your master plan
She's moved on, she's starting again
Look who's started the end

Stand up
Even the coldest of hearts are breaking, breaking, broken down
You've made up
This person she loved for so long, so long, long enough

So stand up (Stand up)
Even the coldest of hearts are breaking, breaking, broken down
You've made up (Made up)
This person she loved for seven forty-eight days
I'm watching you, watching her, watching out
