We're the fire just below the surface
And the darkness that shines through the light
We're the passion you keep hidden
And the wrong that that will never be right.

We're stories you don't read at night
The things that keep you up in fright
We're the alarm ringing in the halls
Banging off all the windows and walls.

We're the howls you here at night
The constant reminder of who you are
We're things that you can never escape
For we are your creation...

Let's pretend you love me
That your eyes shine just for me
Let's pretend we're happy
That our love burns bright and free

Let's pretend the world
Is what we want to see
And every time we close our eyes
It is only you and me

Let's pretend the struggles
Are all in our past
And we are in the future
Where we can never move too fast

So let's pretend you love me
And I will play along
Because baby you might not realize
But I have loved you all along...

My teardrops fall, just like the rain
I need a way, to escape the pain
My heartbeat stalls, when I hear your name
I start to think, it was all your game

You break hearts, it's what you do
And now I'm here, just missing you
You said goodbye, like a simple end
Like I was nothing but a simple friend

As he dries my tears, you see the fears
You've discovered after the years
You don't want me now, more than you did then
You only want me, now that I want him...

Thinking about perfection
Makes me think of you
Your smile that brings out your eyes
And your gentle touches too

Thinking about happiness
Only you comes to mind
I think of our friendship
And the struggles left behind

Thinking about Fear
You show up once more
Of how my life would end
If you walk out the door

Thinking of forever
Gives me hope, you see
All the time that we have left
I hope it's for you and me...

Let us not dwell in the thought of fear
But find to what fear really is
"Fear nothing but fear itself"
Were not my words but his

They say fear controls us
Makes us do not think
So how can we stop ourselves
So we can swim not sink

They say its the world around us
She makes us fear these things
But its not her demons
But the ones at our very brink

You don't fear the world
Or the things that she has full stride
The only thing that you are scared of
Are the things you've locked inside...

I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging onto promises
Broken again and again

We knew this day would come
And we've prayed not so quick
As we all say goodbye
As the clock continues to tick

So follow me my dearest friend
We will find our way together
As we walk down the path of life
And pray for forever

Follow me my dearest love
The path stretches upon
As angels watch from above
We'll travel on and on...
Thanks everyone for reading! It means a lot!!
