Breathe lyrics - Nickleback

Two men
They started walking
Started talking bout better days
One says to the other
We do it all again
Seems I knew I would
And now I found it
Found I adored it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel like I've been there
I didn't need this
Somebody help me breathe

Here we are again
Just face to facing
Each other another day
Who wins
Well who cares
It always ends up the same
Seems I knew I would

And now I found it
Found I adored it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
And now I feel it
Feel that I've been there
I didn't need this
Would Somebody help me stand
And now I've told them
Already warned them
I didn't want this
Somebody help me breathe

If I was them
Then I wanna be
What I see
If I could drag my life in a moment
Wanna know do you want me to go
Gonna keep it all from ending
Never stop myself from pretending
That you always knew that I never could

All I ever really wanted was to be the same
Equal treatment never ever comes
and there they go again
All I ever really wanted was to be like you
So perfect
So worthless
If i could take it all back think again
I would

And now I found it
Found I adored it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel that I've been there
I didn't need this
Somebody help me stand
And now I've told them
I didn't want this
I didn't need this
Would somebody help me breathe
Would somebody help me breathe
Would somebody help me?

Cowboy Hat lyrics - nickleback

Yes he wore a cowboy hat
Each bone broken in his back
All the money and all the gold
Couldn't buy my love at 8 years old
Now I'm in love with a girl thats wrong for me
Ask her, she will disagree
Her father was a small town man
With small time dreams and small town hands
But
But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when i say i dunno
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold'em but

Easy enough to just look at her
Whole world on a silver platter
What's that? Is that bad for me?
If I would set her conscience free
Won round one but its not over
He don't care cause he don't know her
Too long... it's not the same
If I could lend a hand in shame

But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when i say i dunno
Gone for good infact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold and bought

You'll always be
So much easier to see
Don't hide from me
That which I've already seen
You lie to me
More than occasionally
Don't lie to me
You lied to me

I'm as high as I'll ever be
I don't mind, Stay and see
They've all gone, Why don't we
Lonely as you and me
I'm as high as I'll ever be
Later on last to see
My past is gone, only from me
I'm alive

But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say I dunno
Gone for good infact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold and bought

Remember when it was me
Driving come down just for me
And then we'll try as we've been

Leader Of Men lyrics - nickleback

Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow
So hard to swallow

So turn the television off
and I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along

I touch your hand, I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breathe
'cause I think I've forgotten
I think I've forgotten

One day, up to a cliff
That overlooks the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody's daughter
And now the ring that's on my hand
It was given to me by her
And to this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
To get much higher

Old Enough lyrics- Nickleback

Shes old enough
She knows enough
Shes thrown up
So throw her
Out to me
And I'll treat her like she was mine
Not my belief
You got your way and I'll get mine

And I can't eat
I can't sleep
Oh, But Thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While we're in this discussion

Should have known enough
Never grown enough
Alone enough
To know my

Way will be
The path I wanted to try
If it fairs to be
Good for me than I'd rather die

And I can't eat
I can't sleep
Oh, But Thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While we're in this discussion

Black words always lead to something
Bury her cause her time was cut thin
All the while you just stood and stared
Never cared to help we just got carried away

Lately it seems like my dreams have started to die
It occured to me on the inside I guess so have I

And I can't eat
I can't sleep
Oh, But Thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While we're in the last ones coming

Standing here with my two feet
Enjoy it now cause it won't be
Some way
Some how
The things that keep me alive
aren't livin here anymore

Worthy To Say lyrics - Nickleback

They usually come around about 10 o'clock
You can hear them
You can tell them by the way they knock
Somebody said the other one had a badge
Who told ya, Who told ya
How bout if I stay and you run away
Well come on back and try to get some today
Well somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say

They're growin dope everywhere around the block
You can smell it
You can tell by the way they talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told ya, Who told ya

How bout if I stay and you run away
Well come on back and try to get some today
Well somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say

I'll never do it again (No I wont)
Lets settle it (We dont)
I can't afford my life cause I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted

We never do anything anymore
One on the telephone, one on the door
Somebody said revenge was served sweeter cold
I told ya, I told ya
They're growing dope everywhere around the block
You can smell it you can tell it by the way they talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told ya, Who told ya

How bout if I stay and you run away
Well come on back and try to get some today
Well somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say

I'll never do it again (No I wont)
Let's settle it (We dont)
I can't afford my life cause I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted

I'll never do it again (No I won't)
Praise myself (I don't)
I can't afford my life cause I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted
What you wanted

Diggin' This lyrics - Nickleback

You say you don't want it 
Just watch and you'll flaunt it 
You stare at the ceiling 
And ignore what I'm feeling 

Well that's fine, hey I don't mind 
I can find nothing wrong with it 
And you say in your polite way 
Oh by the way can you get on with it? 

Now that I've seen 
Not really Diggin This! 

Did I ask for your input? 
How's the taste of your own foot? 
To speak and not be right 
You'd like to just rewrite 
My life and take what you like 
And decide with all of it 
And to know that if it goes right 
You'll never find out if I wanted it 

Now that I've seen 
Not really Diggin This! 
Now that I know 
Not really Diggin This! 

Called him twice today 
They said he went away 
I never wondered why 
They tried to hold him 
Ain't never comin' back 
Pull out the welcome mat 
I never wondered why 
They tried to hold him 

The way that its goin' 
To laugh without knowin' 
The way that I'm feelin' 
Inside is unappealin' 

Well that's fine, hey I don't mind 
I can find nothing wrong with it 
And you say in your polite way 
Oh by the way can you get on with it? 

Now that I've seen 
Not really Diggin This! 
Now that I know 
Not really Diggin This! 
Not really Diggin This!

Deep lyrics - Nickleback

And you see much better than I see
And you know all that I'm thinking
To define or redefine too slow
And it seems all that I'm sinking
Running through the deep
Gonna find the backwoods
I found out
All day long who will be the big men giving some

And you bleed much better than I bleed
And you've shown all that is so good
And your word, much better than my word
And you stand right where a hole should

Running through the deep
Gonna find the backwoods
I found out
All day long who will be the big men giving some

To feel devine
To hold onto ones self
To give and to give and
To never receive by myself

Running through the deep (I want it)
Gonna find the backwoods (I need it)
I found out (much more than he did)
All day long who will be the big men giving some
(give it back somehow)
Giving some (I'm ready to forgive now)

Running through the deep
Gonna find the backwoods
I found out
All day long who will be the big men giving some
Running through the deep gonna find the back backwoods
I found out gonna get it gonna get it
All day long who will be the big men
are you really really gonna get it

One Last Run lyrics - Nickleback

Best of friends where'd they all go
Try and find but no one ever knows
This small town makes you wanna stay
Who the hell would want to anyway
Well I'm leaving
And I want it all
Thought I got
Better find this all
And I found out where it's all at

[Chorus:]
And I want it all
Thought I got
Better find this all
And I found out where it's all at

Better now than I'm before
Tried it once now I want it more
Memories all cut in half
Tell the truth then I want you to laugh
We're not laughing

[Chorus]

Burn it all 
Watch and learn
Sell it all watch and learn
Sell it all watch it burn

Steal a car 
We're all headed south 
You know the score so just shut your mouth 
One more run then I want out 
Not like them I'd rather go without 
Without needing 

[Chorus]

Well I knew it all
Forgot it all
Better find this all
And I found out where it's all at

Not Leavin' Yet lyrics - Nickleback

Come lie next to me Jesus Christ
Holes in hand where a cross used to fit just right
The meeting called, the topic: a ladies fate
You don't have to remind me
I won't be late

Please excuse me, I'm sorry I just can't wait
And don't use grandfather as the bait

Down the hall the baby boy just born
Rosary around a crown of thorns

Please excuse me, I'm sorry I just can't wait
And don't use grandfather as the bait

Can't you see the lady's not ready
hands and feet are bound and unsteady
In the hall the family's grieving
I'm the one who stays
I'm not leavin' yet

Hold Out Your Hand lyrics - Nickleback

All men with stars upon the chest
Save yourselves, your family,
don't worry 'bout the rest
Small child receives light through the crack
The human mile, they're never coming back
Hold out your hand and ask for some
Now and again she sits beneath the tree
The sign above reads 
Hard Work will Set you Free
Hold out your hand and ask for some
Too late for another direction
Always what we've got in store
Hurry back we've all been waiting
We can't take much anymore
Where are the days where brothers are brothers
A childless mother
Leave it except for one

"Curb" (1996)




Little Friend lyrics - Nickleback

Manhunt to find your daughter
Buried underneath the water
Now they consult a psychic
Find how much I like it
And now I've found a little friend
It's too fast
This won't last
And to touch
Hurts too much
And now I've found a little friend

And now it's just you and me
Borrow one and we will make three
I say we steal one more
Just like we did once before

And now I thought I told her
That she won't get much older
And now I've found a little friend

And now it makes no difference
Cause I am not quite in yet
And now its on the table
Cause she's perfectly able
And now I've found a little friend

Pusher lyrics - Nickleback

And some say
Why you follow somethings so long
So I asked him
And he convinced me before long
Now its over
And I've seen him, don't come back anymore
And he said...
I need
I don't ask much anymore
I found
I found something

Throw a stone into the water
The ripple is broke
Burn the baby
Just for holding the candle too close
Take it all back
Search for justice, don't live there anymore
And he said

I need
I don't ask much anymore
I found
I found something

And why do you see me in this way?
The way that I did
I gave him the means to the ends
Yes I did
I bothered not to believe in this way
The way that I did
I made him just to see in this way
The way that I did

I need
I don't ask much anymore
I found
I found something

Detangler lyrics - Nickleback

I asked you to stay
But you said there's no way
I begged-- you call
And you leave me after all
I know I'm not to blame
I know you don't feel the same
Didn't even tell me why
You just left me here to die
I stand, I fall, I bounce off these 4 walls
You laugh, you leave
And you leave me here alone,
Is this how its gonna be
It's fine for you and not for me
Did you even care at all
You stand, I fall

I'm guilty too
forsiring all to you
Well, that's my one sin
Sorry for giving in
Didn't mean to waste your time
Thanks for wasting mine
Could have to tried to let me be
Would you just set me free?

Could I pay you not to...

Curb lyrics - Nickleback

Have I gone all too far?
Have I been here before?
If I have let me know
How it goes
Take her place
And I will
See her face
No reason
Let it slide
And I will
Watch her die...
To run through fields
To find, and I will
Hold, then lead, then lie
And I will... no I won't

Is it now really time?
Can I just give mine,
If I can simply trade
Deal Made

Take her place
And I will
See her face
No reason
Let it slide
And I will
Watch her die...
To run through fields
To find, and I will
Hold, then lead, then lie
And I will... no I won't

Run, hide away from me
Desouled, to seek, decide
And I will, no I won't

Run through fields to find
Hold then lead, then lie
And I will
Run, desouled, and
Hold, to heal, to find
And I can't

Where? lyrics - Nickleback

Oh, ohh, ohh, yeah
oh, ohh, ohh, yeah

I was wrong to think
That I could ever trust in you
I was wrong to think that you
Might want to trust me too

Here I am, here I am, here I'll stand
Here I am, here I am, here I am, here I'll stand

I was wrong to think
That I could ever love in you
I was wrong to think that you
Might want to love me too

Here I am, here I am, here I'll stand
Here I am, here I am, here I am, here I'll stand

So where the hell are you
So where the hell are you
So where are you when I need someone too
And I am hating you

oh, ohh, ohh yeah
oh, ohh, ohh yeah

Here I am, here I am, here I'll stand
Here I am, here I am, here I am, here I'll stand

So where the hell are you
So where the hell are you
So where are you when I need someone too
Well I'm tired of hating you

oh, ohh, ohh, yeah
oh, ohh, ohh

Falls Back On lyrics - Nickleback

No, I don't guess
I don't sacrifice
And I know
I don't realize
Just how much
I can idolize ... and I know
And then I find it falls back on
On to me, to see, believe
And down onto you, We do, it's true
And I won't beg to stay, to leave, or to believe
A word you say, and then I guess
It all falls back on you
To find out (find out)
What's the deal
And I guess you don't
Simplify
It's just, you had to
Had to take, and I know

There's a fine line between right and wrong
And I know we knew all along
Just how much I can half belong ... and I know
And then I find out it all falls back on you
Cause I'm really up on this
Cause I've seen it before
Where the hell did I get through you?
