Please don't cry
You're not alone
In this world
Feeling so alone

Come with me
Outside the window
The sun shines
Flowers still grow
Sky is blue
Day is smiling
Just for you

Never give up
There is hope
We'll find it
True friends together
Take a look
And you'll see
Beauty is outside

Then look inside
Deep into yourself
The beauty there
They call life
Starts with you

If you see her will you tell her I said hello
And that things haven't changed that much
I'm still alone down here in Jacksonville
And yes I'm still in love

Will you tell her I cry most every night
Because things haven't been the same
Since the wind blew her into my life
And that same wind blew her out again

If you see her will you tell her how hard I tried
To move beyond what it was we had
Perhaps I would not have given my all
If I had known it wouldn't last

You can tell her if she tries to look me up
I went and changed my name
I'm no longer Mr. Happy Go Lucky
I'm now Down In The Dumps Again

You Know What...

If you see her tell her I said hello
And that everything is fine
That I've been living life so care free
She's not even crossed my mind

If that appears to make her saddened
It might just break my heart
Because my friend you and I both know the truth
I've not been the same since we've been apart

You say I'm the one
Your one and only
You say you only have eyes for me
That you don't look at other girls
You say I mean everything to you
That you don't want anyone else

BUT then why
Why do I feel my heart clenching
Every time you talk to her
Every time I see you two laugh together
Every time you talk about her
Every time I know you two are together
That's when a little pieces of my heart breaks
Even though you told me I was the one and only
That I should trust you
Believe what you say
Cause we love each other
So you won't walk away
But to be honest I'm afraid
Afraid that you will find something better
Someone better
And I will be left with a heart that's broken
With a love so strong it will tear me a part
And with tears streaming down my face
While you will look at her and smile

So yeah, I don't quite believe the one and only thing
But that just cause I'm afraid
Afraid and jealous
Afraid of losing the best thing I have ever had
My first love and the only one I ever want
I'm afraid of losing you
My one and only

To me it's funny
That how I found you
My first love
My one and only
Was by being at a high school party
Where you didn't matter to me at all
All we said was hallo
And then I was in the arms of your classmate
Close, hugging, cuddling, touching and kissing
This other guy was the one to catch my eye
But then he was stolen away
And another guy took away my sight
He was sweet and gentle and we shared a goodnight kiss before I left
And you never crossed my mind

Then at school everyone talked
And somehow I date crashed and we got to talk
I thought you were sweet but weird at first
Never once did I think we would ever be more than friends
Cause I was texting your classmate
But now you too
And you were texting all the time
It was actually kind of cute
How much you tried to fight for my attention
And so it was that you fell for me
And you told the other guy that
Surprisingly you were both sweet about it
The other guy slowly backed off
And you took his place
Still I only saw you as one of my friends
But you kept going
You were the perfect gentleman
And slowly you started to steal my heart
We confessed we were each other's crush
And soon we began to hang out
We chilled, we texted, we talked
And suddenly one day
It was you I was cuddling
It's was you who ended up with my heart
You that still has it
You who I hope will never leave me

So it started out crazy
But now that I got you
I'm not gonna let you go
Even though you f*ck with my mind and my heart
You make me jealous and afraid by heart
I'm still loving you like crazy
So please stay
Cause I think we are kinda perfect

It's hard to explain
how this heart feels.
Like laughter lost in echo
and your warm touch
now long gone cold.

Anxious, breathless;
something lost I need
so desperately found.

Empty perhaps.
Abandoned like houses,
broken like silence.

These hands can't reach as far
as where you lay.
Somehow I feel like I burn at both ends;
the flames now reaching their meeting place.

But it's always better to burn out
than to fade away.
