Let's escape this insanity
That you and I fit perfectly
Our sculptures intertwining
The wind of night swirling

Let's squander one more hour
Where you and I are one
Silhouettes joined together
For the very last time

Your love is something
That takes me by surprise
I'm fastidious
But you never really have to try

Your love is growing
Into me like a crime
It's unruly, illegal
Something I cannot deny

Your love is a dose
Of a drug that makes me high
It's intoxicating that I wish
you could have passed me by

I heard our song. I had the feeling of nostalgia striking me upside down,
I had the chills I only get when I'm around you. Then, I realized... You were my song.
You were the rhythm that got me to follow every move, the tune that got me all jolly and jumpy
But I never played it again, too afraid I won't be able to stop myself from listening to it.
Maybe that's why I miss you, why I miss talking to you,
Why I miss every bit of arrogance that you have,
Why I miss the feeling of being loved by you.
It's been years, but I still haven't moved on when I should have.
I didn't know that the moment I lost you was when I pretended to stop caring, petrified of what might happen if I still try to.


So you slipped,
and God knows how much I've been trying to reach out to you, but the thing is: You just don't care enough.
Either you know better, or we're just not good for each other, and maybe we're never going to be.
Still, thank you.
You were the only thing that kept me going when everything else is falling apart.
You'd once been my hope; the one guy I had the guts to take a shot with.
The one I know that's worth all the chances to risk...
and worth the great goodbye.

Stolen glances,
Hidden smiles,
Are all but a part
Of a lovely start

Tearful laughters,
Joyous crys,
Are all a portent
Of a love that lasts

We were too perfect,
You and I
I was your Bonnie
You were my Clyde

We were so splendid,
A love like no other
You were passionate
But my walls are higher

You tried to reach it,
but you started breaking it
Inch by inch, block by block
You are tearing me asunder

You may not have noticed it,
but our love was fleeting
Like a flower that reaches
Its end after blooming

There's no such thing
As other halves
It's just that some souls
Have found their perfect match

When the sun shines
And the clouds pass by
Will you let me be
In this scorching light?

When the wind blows
And the world seems hollow
Will you take my hand
Or leave me with sorrow?

When the stars ignite
And our hearts collide
Will you be with me
'Til the end of time?
