I'll close my eyes
And just drift away.
Maybe sometime soon,
You'll be here to stay.

I know it takes time.
Darling, that's okay.
I'll be by your side.
Just don't fade away.

You're scared, I can see.
Everyone around worries you.
Please realize that there is no need
For you to be afraid of me.

You can take my hand,
I'll show you the way.
I won't misguide you,
Or lead you astray.

I won't hurt you,
Or leave any scars.
You can stay by my side,
Like the moon and the stars.

I won't say that I love you.
For that, it's a bit too soon,
But darling, believe me when I say
That I truly care about you.

I'll open my eyes,
You're not by my side.
I'll just drift back off,
Then I can hide.

If I would have known, I would have never left your side.
I would have answered every call.
I would have been there, every time you cried.

If I would have known, I would have held you in my arms.
I would have fought away all your demons.
I would have kept you safe from harm.

If I would have known, I would have made you laugh.
I would have told you silly stories.
I would have led you down a different path.

But I did not know, so I couldn't heal your internal blister.
I didn't know, so I couldn't have talked you home.
I didn't know, I was a terrible big sister.

If I would have known, I would have kept every single tear.
I would have held you so, so close.
I would still have you right here.

If you would have told me, dear brother,
What you were going to do that night,
I would have held you down and made you resist the urge to fight.

But I didn't know, I had no clue.
And know you're dead and I'm stuck here.
On this earth, with no you.

Kids, I know life gets hard.
It may seem impossible, every single day.
But please, speak up, because people do care.
And you don't want to leave them in that way.

The roar of the crowd,
The scrape of the ice.
The slap of the puck,
The whoosh of the net.

The season's almost over,
But lest we forget.
The season's almost over,
But it's not over yet.

You take a drag from your cigarette, I try to keep my cool.
You lean against the wall, I stand awkwardly, watching your every move.
Your backwards hat and long, frizzy hair make me smile.
They'd be silly on anyone else, but they make you, you.
You never say much, but when you speak, you're so profound.
I shouldn't be around you, you're in with the wrong crowd;
But there's something about you that I just need in my life, and I'm not sure why.
You probably won't amount to anything, just lounging and smoking all day.
I really shouldn't love you so much, you and all the words that you left unsaid.
I should probably walk away from the convenience store that has virtually become your home.
I should probably walk away, and never look back.
But here I stand, watching you smoke while your creepy friend dances.

You've never asked me to leave, so I guess I'll just take my chances.

No, I'm not over it.
No, things aren't okay.
Every time I close my eyes, I see your face.
I wish the pain would go away.

No, I'm not over you.
No, I'm not okay.
I fall for you more and more,
Each and every passing day.

No, I haven't moved on.
No, I haven't even tried.
I've got other things on my mind.
I've been too preoccupied.

No, I'm not writing this about you.
No, I'm not even thinking of you.
Why, what would make you think that I'm lying?
Is it that you're possibly thinking of me too?

No, I know that you're not.
No, I'm not THAT blind.
You've already told me what you want.
You already told me you don't want to be mine.

No, I'm totally fine.
No, I'm not dwelling on my fears.
I'm just going to go off to bed,
And down myself in my tears.

Slap-shot in the dark,
The puck slides to center ice.
I am now at home.

I drift along this cold, dark sea.
All alone, it's only me.

You fill my mind as I float along.
You feel so right, but I know you're wrong.

I look over the edge of the boat,
And my mind begins to wonder....

I leap off the side of the boat,
And plunge into the water.

The sea is cold,
My breath hitches in my throat.

It won't be long now,
My body begins to float.

It can't be too terribly long,
My body may still be here,
But my mind has been long gone.

I close my eyes,
And darkness falls.

I won this fight,
You've lost it all.

I loved, you lied.
You spoke, I sighed.
I hurt, and I tried.

You don't care, I don't know why.
I needed you most, you left while I cried.
You're selfish, I was by your side.

I should have known better, you should have kept this surprise.
You made me feel lost, I got swept up in your lies.
I'm now all alone...

You left me here to die.

I had a really strange dream.
Something was wrong.
I had woken up,
You were long gone.

I had a really strange dream.
My fear had come true.
You said it wouldn't happen,
But you had left, too.

If I could tear open my insides, and show you the pain you've caused,
Would it do any good, or will I just remain lost?

If I could gather the right things to say,
Would you listen and take my hand,
Or would you just shy away?

If I told you I was craving your touch,
Would you come hold me tight,
Or am I just asking too much?

If I ceased breathing tonight,
Would you feel any pain,
While I seek out the light?

I see you on the silver screen, you don't know my name.
I see you on the street, and all that separates us is fame.

We have so much in common, this I know to be true.
We would get on quite well, if only I were on the same level as you.

I would pour my heart out all night, if you would see my face,
I know it's just a silly gesture, and my time would just go to waste.

We were once so close, and everything was so well;
But now you've left without a trace, and I'm here abandoned in this empty hell.

I wish nothing but the best for you, I hope everything is okay...
Hopefully you'll look up and notice me, but I won't hold my breath waiting for that day.
