holding on to what we've been is like keeping a flower that died and all my tears are water I'm wasting trying to bring it back to life

I don't beg you to stay when you choose to go But you should remember who fought the waves that tried to wash away your colours back then It wasn't those perfect shiny girls you hang out with now It wasn't him you spend the nights texting with now It was me, and I almost drowned myself keeping you above water And now you learned how to swim, and you don't need me anymore I'm just a part of the past you want to forget So go ahead, I'll be okay, Done with hiding under this sparkling blue surface Done with holding my breath You got to make it through the next storm on your own Because I won't spend my life in freezing water waiting for you to need me.

And no one ever tries to look behind the light 'cause beauty shines so bright makes everybody blind they don't care what's inside the chaos in her mind a world that's self-designed where everyday's a fight Can't reach across that line can't keep away the night still she will be alright one time

behind the light
And maybe I should just accept we had our try, I don’t regret Things start and end and life goes on You came, you stayed and now you’re gone Just wish I had a few days more finding out if you’re who I’m made for But I see it’s better this way around cause you shouldn’t force love where it won’t be found

shouldn’t force love
You were so broken that I destroyed myself trying to fix you. Now I'm the one falling apart while you found someone else to hold you.

take away my fear that I'll not reach the stars take away my thoughts about how nothing lasts wash away my silence the words caught inside me wash away the past to see the girl that I could be

And yes, it feels like I’m falling apart trying to hold everything together

Tell me what’s the point in trying when no one seems to see, What’s the point in listening when no one speaks to me? Why am I standing at your door knowing you won’t open it Why do I try to get your love knowing there’s not left a bit? I’m aware I should stop hoping cause I put my dreams too high I’m aware I’ll have to stay on earth cause I’m not made to fly

Pointless
you tried to catch a shooting star and didn't see you were the one falling

You say you can’t see me It’s not like I’d hide Just standing in the shadow That’s caused by your light
