I will always come second. I'll never be as important as your career, a television, that bottle Can I live like this for the rest of my life?

Sometimes I wonder, The times we would've been together. I picture you and I, On Sundays by the beach in the cold weather. I imagine us, Stargazing at night with me in your arms tighter. But I waited and waited. Every inch of every hour, On steps to your front door, In portraits I drew of you, On benches we sat in parks, At classes we used to have, Through wretchedly rainy days, Under my blankets late at night, In my sleepless nights of dreams, Right to the places you've sang to me, Left to the days you were still with me. But you left. You were gone. You were never coming back. Because I watch you lay there, With your hands so still, buried underground.

I waited
That night when I found Another girl's Hair barrette in Your bed And I pretended to believe you When you said that it wasn't someone else's How could it be? You're being crazy. Who else's would it be? Was the night that I thought I would never look back And here I am Just like that

Just Like That
The feeling of swimming underwater, missing someone, standing on top of a mountain. The feeling of shedding tears over a movie, excitment over a kiss, running for no reason. The feeling of jumping up and down over a song, smiling to birds, being lost after a drunken night out, is what we should live for.

What we should live for
You know that feeling When you wake up In the morning And for a few seconds Everything is fine And normal And  okay And then you remember That four days ago He broke your heart And now you choke Just enough to make you Lose your breath And you have to feel this way Until tomorrow morning When you wake up And for a few seconds Everything is fine And normal And okay Until it's not
