「verse:」
They always laugh at you but you never try to fight back
And although you tried your best you capsule never guess
It would all be swept away by the rain
And when that new umbrella was torn away in the wind
I knew by a print or two that umbrella had
Gone to something like a stray trapped in the rain
It's just another day when they hate you being alive
With no reason to be kept at a distance from
Them when every time you try your hardest
"What did I do to make them all want to leave me behind?"
And when you don't understand you end up wanting to be alone
「chorus:」
Why not add up all the words you were just trying to scream out
Put'em to a bunch of notes and let me sing them
"How could such an awful noise be fit for human ears?"
But you wouldn't give up
Surely getting better everyday that goes by
In an instant you can make me sing for just you and I
So keep your words
And let me sing for the whole world to hear
Create a song and let me sing
And all those times you wanted to cry and scream
They always passed you by
And make a stand believe in me
I'll never let them hurt you again for saying what you feel
And then you hear the voices of that "odds and ends" sound
Ringing out a message they can never keep down
Let me hear it load, the power of your voice
「verse:」
And now they praise you for being yourself so don't give in
To many who tried their best, you could never guess
They would look to you for where to go next
But then one day, you changed into something that you're not
And since they don't understand, you end up wanting to be alone
「chorus:」
why not give up all the phrases you were trying to make up
We don't need another lie to put to music
"How could such an awful noise be fit for human ears?"
And I know that you hate me
But a whispering is starting without a sound
"What a fake. They never even try to stand their own ground"
And you would cry, but why insist on crying all alone?
Hey can you hear? I'm calling you
And all those times you wanted to run and hide
I'll take them far away
And know for now, you're not alone
A heart so big it crumbles slowly with every passing day
And then you hear the voices of that "odds and ends" sound
Ringing out a message they all try to keep down
Let me hear it loud, the power of your voice
「verse:」
All the words have gone and in a second there's nothing
Left to say, there is no way to keep this going
"Where am I? Is this a dream? It's fading out now?"
To meet again would now be an impossible dream and yet
If we were ever to see the end
I'd never want us to let this go
And even now I know it's just a dream
And after all the songs were played and done,
Odds&ends would keep a smile
No matter what, and in your gut
Somehow knew this was the end
You cry and shout the words held so tight
And had wished with all your might
"It's all a lie, you just can't die!"
But a hush came down on them
"Yeah I know, I'm all alone.
Why can't I even find the strength to save my only friend?
You always had believed in me.
And every tear I'm crying out now, I cry them all for you."
Create a song and change the world
And now this time, I hope that you try and see
The beauty in this life
All the loneliness and happiness
I know they'll never hurt you again
As everything is one
And then you hear the voices of that "odds and ends" sound
Ringing out my message that will change your life now
Let me hear it loud, the power of your voice
And I will never leave you again
