I wake up
Something more than what I'm supposed to be
Something more than I have meant to show.
How was I supposed to know
That I've wanted, and I've waited.

And I can be the one
To show you that life's not simple enough.
And I can be the one
To tell you I've held this back for too long.

And my heart aches...
These feelings I've held inside for you.
And my heart aches...
How can I stop the pain?

Never sometimes.
Well I never wanted
It to be this way with you.
So broken-hearted.
Look at all the things
We've been through.
Sometimes i,
Sometimes I can catch up with your words.
You're hard to follow,
So hard to follow.

Tragic,
To realize that you talk too much.
So tragic,
To realize that you're far too gone
To say you're wrong.
Sometimes i,
Sometimes I can catch up with your words.
You're hard to follow,
So hard to follow.

Tie the rope around me once more.
I might bend, but I won't break.

Take this timeout
To find yourself.
Take this timeout to learn.

    General Comment:the meaning behind it isn't that much different to Head On Collision...but the guy has actually told the girl about his feelings.

    Reminds of when i sent this girl i liked a letter, about a year ago. She laughed and told everyone...meh, she was evil! :@

    General Comment:I can relate only to well to this song, to me its about a girl he feels alot for, whos interested elsewhere, but he really badly wants to explain how much he likes her and how it pains him not to be with her he wants to show her that he has so much to offer her, but he cant its too hard.

    This is my favorite NFG song and im a massive fan, its so emotional and I love it.

    General Comment:okay, here's my story that goes with this song. in november, i was at the new found glory concert with some friends of mine. well, towards the end, jordan told us how they're going to slow it down for a little and then he tells us to "put your arm around the person next to you." none of my friends are around at that moment, so i was just standing there and suddenly, i felt an arm around my shoulder. i looked up and there was this guy i've never seen before who smiled at me. he looked about my age and had a really nice and open face. i put my arm around him too and we stood there for the rest of the song. as soon as the song was over...he was gone in the crowd.

    as i was waiting with some friends after the concert, someone tapped my shoulder. i turned around and it was the same guy. he introducesd himself to my friends and me and gave me a piece of paper with his screen name on it. the next day, i IMed him and found out he lived in the same town that i go to dance classes in and i had some friends that attended my dance school who knew him. we talked for about a week and a half, and one day, i stopped by his house. we sat on his front step and he explained that 'i looked lonely in the crowd that nite.' then he told me that he had to tell me something. he said that when he saw me, he knew he had to talk to me and that he was really starting to like me...

    long story short...today is exactly four months since that day on his front step...exactly four months since he admitted he liked me...and exactly four months as a couple.

    and that's my story about the song broken sound!

    General Comment:Jordan is just being funny when he was talking about ian and steve live... really, who plays neverending story or peter sintera's the glory of love or even that warrant cover thats actually serious... dont believe that its really about them, its about the whole loving someone and not telling them soon enough, kinda like hit or miss 'have i waited too long'
