my dreams have long moved on,
you are no longer in the center.
every thing i'd ever wanted,
every thought feels haunted.

haunted by your awful memory,
your dangerous smile pulling me in.
i can barely stand the thought of you,
of all we built up together, too.

i've moved on, i've found more;
more than you could ever give.
i have nothing left to leave,
he's the one, i believe.

no time for you to leave me hurt,
no time for you to damage me,
no time for your love at all,
no time to let myself fall.

there is no end to us,
to me, we never even started.
there is no goodbye to say,
i've disappeared, so go away.

one day i packed my bags and ran
for the mountains tall and lovely
fo escape all the pain i can
and to see the world pass slowly

the suitcases backed full behind
my lover and i never looked back
as we drove a long tiring ride
hand in hand, no one could track

and so we drove out into the world
to experience what we didn’t know
we kept holding on when things got cold
arm in arm, through the snow

i don’t want new york or manhattan
run past chicago to my passion
let me live in the gorgeous mountains
let me have those perfect mountains

why is love a dagger in the heart?
it stabs, then twists, tearing it apart.
it causes pain as a practiced art.

the anguish inside makes me cry out.
i sit and sob; i don’t merely pout.
betrayal holds me down, no way out.

now the slightest touch fills me with fear,
whispers of doubt and despair fill my ear.
no one will love you is all i can hear.

not a single breath, did I breathe
in fear of my security
footsteps thumping; one, two, three
hoping, praying he won't see me.

let's pack up and runaway,
together things will be okay.
if we feel like we are falling,
we can learn to keep fighting.
holding each other up; staying together,
we can't just give up; always and forever;
when life only seems to be killing,
we can learn to keep on living.

the world outside is a treacherous place,
where evil lurks in every race.
doubt threatens to **** the deepest belief,
and the pain of loss comes with no relief.
there is no refuge below or above,
with the exception of the refuge of love.
love is capable of amazing powers;
love with stay with you until late hours.
true love’s flame will never grow cold,
it keeps burning hot even when it grows old.
in the case of two lovers, starcrossed and secret,
they’re, sadly, oppressed and told they can’t keep it.
some don’t know what happens to a covered flame:
the flame becomes hotter, just as lovers grow untame.
but love stays with you through all the struggle;
love with not leave you in the times of trouble;
love makes dull life’s hardships, it numbs the pain;
love doesn’t care what you’ve done, even the insane;
love will not leave you, whether in the dark or the light;
love sticks with you through the day, it’s beside you at night.

perhaps it was best that God let me live,
so i could see the beauty that he'd give,
and so i could learn how to forgive

that is if he exists
and if he listened
and if i'm not just going crazy..
