Weak Become Strong – Staind lyrics

THIS IS IT

Here we are, there's nowhere else to go, and that's so far from where we all could be,
But if you feel like disappearing, you should take this for what it's worth.
This is it, and it fits, and it feels like this is good enough for me, could it be that the grass is always green?
There you are, you dream of something better, what's so wrong with what you thought was true,
And all the colours are disappearing, you should take this for what it's worth.
This is it, and it fits, and it feels like this is good enough for me, could it be that the grass is always green?

THE WAY I AM

I'm not very good at just paying attention, I'm not very good at remembering things that you say,
I'm not very good at pursuing redemption, I'm not very good at concealing the hand that I play.
It's the way I am, you'll never change the way I am, or rearrange the way I am, just let me be the way I am, it's the way I am.
I'm not really sure of the coming attractions, I'm not really sure of illusions we read on the wall,
I'm not really sure of the preaching we practice, I'm not really sure if we'll notice it before we fall.
It's the way I am, you'll never change the way I am, or rearrange the way I am, just let me be the way I am, it's the way I am.
Not very good at just paying attention, not very good at remembering things,
I'm not very good at pursuing redemption, I'm not very good at concealing the hand that I play when I'm trying so hard just to beat you,
I'm not really good at controlling my fate, I'm not really good at controlling my anger, I'm not really good at subduing my hate.

BELIEVE

I sit alone and watch the clock, trying to collect my thoughts, all I think about is you.
And so I cry myself to sleep and hope the devil I don't meet in the dreams that I live through.
Believe in me, I know you've waited for so long; believe in me, sometimes the weak become the strong.
Believe in me, this life's not always what it seems; believe in me, cause I was made for chasing dreams.
All the smiles you've had to fake and all the shit you've had to take, just to lead us here again.
I never have the things to say to make it all just go away, to make it all just disappear.
Believe in me, I know you've waited for so long; believe in me, sometimes the weak become the strong.
Believe in me, this life's not always what it seems; believe in me, cause I was made for chasing dreams.
It's my life, it's my choice, feel my words, hear my voice, and just believe.
I sit alone and watch the clock, trying to collect my thoughts, all I think about is you.
If you believe in me, life's not always what it seems; believe in me, cause I was made for chasing dreams.

SAVE ME

This dark room, another cigarette, the carpet’s strewn, I'm getting sick of it.
The end is near, I'm in the thick of it, and I'll be there soon if you can handle it.
Just save me from all that I am, you save me for the fuck of it; save me, just hold out your hand, you save me from all of it.
I try to speak myself, you can do it too, I need no one's help, I'm needing only you,
So just pray for me and deliver it, you never take from me what I'm giving.
Just save me from all that I am, you save me for the fuck of it; save me, just hold out your hand, you save me from all of it.
And all that I've become is you, the only good in me is you.
And after all of this the day will come to find out, will you take me or forsake me?
So pray for me, am I forgiven for what you take from me?

ALL I WANT

What I leave and when you go, what I see and what you show, and what I guess and when I don't is something you already know.
I can't live without, all I think about, all I want is you; you're all I dream about, I can't live without, all I want is you.
The things I do, what I go through, and all I say when I'm away, and what I make, the shit I take is something you already know.
I can't live without, all I think about, all I want is you; you're all I dream about, I can't live without, all I want is you.

PARDON ME

I'm one step from a breakdown, two steps from being saved, just try to see this through.
I'm three steps from this nightmare and four steps from the door, the rest is up to you.
Pardon me while I just turn my back and walk away, pardon me if I can't listen to the things you say,
Pardon me if I can't fake it while you still believe, pardon me.
I'm one step from forgiveness and two steps from my grave, we're all just passing through.
Three steps from redemption, four from the devil's door, on a path that leads to you.
Pardon me while I just turn my back and walk away, pardon me if I can't listen to the things you say,
Pardon me if I can't fake it while you still believe, pardon me.
I'm two steps from salvation, but I'm only taking one, pardon me.

LOST ALONG THE WAY

We change the rhyme, forget the reason, waiting for the change of seasons drawing near, it's almost here,
So save tonight, forget tomorrow, say goodbye to time we borrow, it's always there, it's in the air.
Like voices in the rain, like a song without a name, like angels' wings and whisperings of love we've lost and found along the way.
Do you take the time to really wallow in the footsteps that you follow, gets you there, gets you anywhere.
So here today and gone tomorrow with the time you had to borrow, it's always there, it's in the air.
Like voices in the rain, like a song without a name, like angels' wings and whisperings of love we've lost and found along the way.
Like voices in the rain, like a song without a name, like angels' wings and whisperings of time we've lost and found out in the rain.
It washes it all away, like the moments we could have saved, the things we forgot to say.

BREAK AWAY

Misery, the company it keeps; history, all these things we keep repeating, like a wheel that keeps turning.
If I could break away from this moment, break away what is real, break away, never show it, how I feel, if I could break away.
Apathy, the ignorance it breeds, the tragedy of all these things we keep repeating like a wheel that keeps turning.
If I could break away from this moment, break away what is real, break away, never show it, how I feel, if I could break away.

TANGLED UP IN YOU

You're my world, the shelter from the rain, you're the pills that take away my pain,
You're the light that helps me find my way, you're the words when I have nothing to say.
And in this world where nothing else is true, here I am still tangled up in you, I'm still tangled up in you.
You're the fire that warms me when I'm cold, you're the hand I have to hold as I grow old,
You're the shore when I am lost at sea, you're the only thing that I like about me.
And in this world where nothing else is true, here I am still tangled up in you, I'm still tangled up in you.
How long has it been since this storyline began, and I hope it never ends and goes like this forever.

RAINING AGAIN

A piece of glass in the sand under your feet, it cuts you deep and makes you hate the beauty that you see,
And you wonder where you are, how you ever got so far, now you question what went wrong, it's your heart.
It's raining again, there's a dark cloud over your head, it follows you round, it's bringing you down, it's raining again.
A wilted rose in your bouquet is all you see, you buy the flaws and miss the beauty that is yours for free.
Realise you are so far from the things that matter now and you only wonder how, it's your heart.
It's raining again, there's a dark cloud over your head, it follows you round, it's bringing you down, it's raining again.
Come on, get it right, come on, make it right, come on, it's alright.

RAINY DAY PARADE

You the great pretenders, blood to paint your pictures while you’re stepping over fallen people lying in the streets.
You the great offenders, only your views matter while your heart grows colder, I wish that you could open up
And feel for a while see if you can take it, feel you’re alive and this is all part of it,
Feel, could it be that we’re all afraid, cause it feels like a rainy day parade.
We the great believers, blood is legal tender, I will not surrender what it was our fathers died to bear.
We the people stated, not negotiated just to be forgotten, I wish that you could open up
And see for a while, see if you can take it, see you’re alive and this is all part of it,
See, can’t you see that we’re all afraid, cause it seems like a rainy day parade.
What I see is all too real, what I need is what you steal, and all I reap is what you take, upon my back on which you break,
And I just wish that we could rise above and feel for a while see if you can take it, feel you’re alive and this is all part of it.
Feel, could it be that we’re all afraid, cause it feels like a rainy day parade.

THE CORNER

It sheltered me from nothing but the weather, I called it home for a moment of my life.
This place I see just doesn't look familiar, I wonder if it looks the same inside.
So there's the corner that I sat on, the road I walked home in the rain,
And there's the star I used to wish on, it all just seems like yesterday.
Days go by, nothing's getting clearer, can't change my mind, my troubles are the same.
Faces change, the names, they are familiar, and the streets I see withstand the test of time.
So there's the corner that I sat on, the road I walked home in the rain,
And there's the star I used to wish on, it all just seems like yesterday, and those stars still shine down through the rain.
And there's the corner that I sat on, the road I walked home in the rain,
And there's the star I used to wish on, it all just seems like yesterday,
And I stare out this dirty window, as this world goes slowly by,
And somewhere out there is the future that I once thought had passed me by.
It sheltered me from nothing but the weather.

NOTHING LEFT TO SAY

Talk to me, you never talk to me, do we suffer from social atrophy?
And when the conversation's over, we've taken what's been given and we throw it all away.
Walk with me, come on and walk with me, take a look around you, do you like what you see?
We've taken what's been given and we throw it all away, it's hard to be forgiven when there's nothing left to say.
When the conversation's over the silence just gets in the way.
Talk to me, don't ever talk for me.
