Temper

I want it this way
I want something
You give it to me
Or I'll show you how fast I can tear this place apart

Oh no, here it goes
He's going at it again
He throws himself to the floor
And I don't know how to make him happy
'Cause I'm not happy anymore

And oh no, here I go
Yeah I'm shuttin' him up
'Cause it's all I know
I was raised this way
So let's continue the cycle of rage

And why can't you just be quiet
Not everything can go your way
I know something's missing
I don't know how it got away
And no need to start a riot
I'm sorry things have been so gray
But we'll have to get through it

You don't always have to get what you like
Throw your temper fine
You will never learn without strife
Straighten your crooked spine

You don't always have to be on the rise
Cut your selfish ties
Would you ever give up your life
Of ignorance and pride?

So we can breathe again
So we can breathe

I want it this way, I want it this way
I want it my way, I want it my way

And can you take me back, to when I was young?
Yeah when I made the mishap happen
I turned this house into a gun
Ready to explode at a given glance
Yeah I could pull the trigger
But I think we have a second chance

And we might realize that we tried and tried
All for nothing
But that means something because

You don't always have to get what you like
Throw your temper fine
You will never learn without strife
Straighten your crooked spine

You don't always have to be on the rise
Cut your selfish ties
Would you ever give up your life
Of ignorance and pride?

So we can breathe again
So we can breathe again
