I know what it's like,
To not be able to breathe.
I know how it feels,
To put all of your energy into one person.

Giving someone all of your trust,
And letting them in,
Just to be let down...
That's the worst feeling.

Someone makes you a promise
And then they break it and that's it?
Suddenly everything that mattered,
Just isn't supposed to matter anymore?
Do you realize how long it took me
Just to break down my walls for you?

I never fell so hard for one person
In such a short period of time...ever.
I've never felt so captivated and in love
With everything he did,
Everything he made me feel.
I felt like I was seeing the world,
In a completely different way.

But people change.
He changed.
He really, really changed.
And he closed the door.

It's never been so hard for me to move on.
I feel so lost.
I guess that's how you know
How much you truly love someone.

I can't stop thinking about you.
What I'd give to turn it off.
I can't stop dreaming about you.
Please, someone, make it stop.

Why do you get to be happy?
When I'm here feeling so sad.
The memories of us taunt me.
But you've moved on —
You had it so easy.

I sit in my regrets.
Did I waste my time?
Can I go back?
Is there a point to all this thinking?
I can't make these thoughts stop.
I just want someone to save me.
I just want to be able to move on.

Like a fading dream,
I envision what no longer remains.
The softness of your grin.
Your smirk was of pure desire.

Looking in your eyes,
Was like looking at the ocean.
The blues of your iris captivated me.

Lightly I would stroke my hand,
Up and down your soft, pale skin.
Your complexion, perfect.

And that cute patch of freckles,
There on your back shoulder,
Made me smile.
Even your imperfections were perfect.

But it's all a dream now...

You disguise yourself.
You hide from all that is true.
But I can see you.

I hate feet, but shoes are stupid.
You look so sweet, but your heart is broken.
Get your life together,
That's what they tell you.
Get your life together,
That's what they say.

Trying to make ends meet,
While staying simple.
Paper or plastic?
They never ask anymore.
And what ever happened to
Face-to-face communication?
Maybe I'm too strange for it all.

I just want to do what I want.
Stop telling me what's right and what's wrong.
Sometimes I like pasta for breakfast.
Lunch tastes so good in the morning,
Don't you think?

You shouldn’t have done that.
Told me you loved me when I was distracted.
I was caught up in another’s web of lies.
I was holding on to something that didn’t exist.

I had to push you away.
And now you’re gone.
You’ve got a girl now, that’s cool I guess.
Whatever makes you happy — does she?
I shouldn’t have told you it was over,
But you shouldn’t have done that.
Will you ever love me again?

You’ll take her to Spain.
Heard it rains a lot there.
It could have been us on that plane.
Every memory we’ll never have makes me so angry.
But you shouldn’t have done that.
You said you’d marry me, remember?

Maybe you were just lonely,
When you said all those things.
Maybe I’m a fool for thinking
Something could have ever happened.
But it’s too late now either way.
You’ve moved on because I made you.
I was loyal to some other non-existant fantasy.
But you shouldn’t have done that.
You shouldn’t have done that.

Often times I think of you.
I shouldn't care but I miss you.
Through every good and bad thing, I fear.
I could never forget you.
And I wonder what will become of us.
Because we are just like strangers now.
But you shouldn't have done that.

— The End —
