You try so hard to please everyone
So someone will love you once again
Meaningless, tedious, tiresome tasks
Just to hear someone's praise

And you think to yourself
"I've done it again"
When all you hear is you could do better
And the happiness fades back to black

Always losing to other perfection
And feeling second best
All while thinking
"You did it again"

Again, again
I still feel you in my arms
No more lonely nights
Giving up my heart to you
Forever is now

Waves wash over me
Cleaning me of my sins
Drowning in a sea of eternal love
Reaching up to touch the light
Embracing the warmth of the love
Dancing in the water
Smiling
Falling into an ocean
Falling into the strongest of arms
Falling
Into happiness

I am wondering who you are
And why you came
Those piercing eyes
With an innocent smile
A familiar face in an unfamiliar world

Midnight has come and gone
And your presence is overwhelming
Stirring up a past longed to be forgotten
And now I'm haunted

You're in control
And your voice breaks the silence
I'm not where I should be
Just let go of you and I

I used to know a boy
Before I gave him up
I've no idea where he's run off to
Far away I hope
Not from the world
Not from monsters
But from me, into the arms of others

I once knew a boy
Who showed me colors
Opened my eyes
Opened my heart
Opened up a new world to see
I once gave up a boy
For all others to see as I saw

I want to see the stars collide
I want to believe in the magic
I want to live for tonight
Live for something so beautiful

I want to believe that the stars collide
I want to feel the energy come alive
I want to live for tonight
Live so free

And it feels like the stars aligned so perfectly
I want to see through forever and ever
I want the dream to come alive
I want to believe tonight is who we are

The loneliness and sorrow have settled in
Giving you up was inevitable
You were already gone
And I was not long behind

It made no difference
This was always the ending we were coming to
The silence was a comfort
And we cannot salvage our broken selves
