Words can't even describe
Everything about tonight
I can't even begin to explain
How much pain
We've shared tonight

I would have never imagined
That behind her smiles and laughter
There's a world full of hate and diaster
I couldn't attempt to comprehend
How much she values me as friend

Desperately I want to believe
That somehow her life will be easy
I want to hold on to the hope
That one day everything will change
Though deep down I know
Life doesn't work that way

I've never opened up to anyone
Like I did tonight
And no guy has seen me cry
Like I did tonight
Even though your words helped
It was the language of eyes
That made me feel just for a second
Like everything was alright

Thank you for showing me
Even though the world's full of suffering
There's light somewhere in the shadows

Thank you for showing me
What is to fully believe
In the things unseen

But more than anything
Thank you for showing me
What love truly means

The moment of weakness
That brings you to your knees
The moment of hopelessness
As if no one hears your pleas
The moment of darkness
When you scream without a sound
The moment of infinite sadness
As if your heart no longer pounds
The moment of numbness
Believing it was just a dream
The moment of painfulness
Realizing what you've seen
The moment of regretfulness
Wishing you had them back
The moment of forgetfulness
Trying to get your life on track
The moment of humblness
Begging for His love
The moment of hope
When you feel strength from above

Dreams
It must've been dreams
All those things you said to me
Must've been dreams
You left as quickly as you came
Was this just a game?
You had me believing
But I guess you were just teasing me
I'm sorry, I didn't get the memo

Silence
It's driving me crazy
That's all I get from you lately
I was expecting some kind of explanation
But all I got is this frustration
You don't even care
Even if you did
It wouldn't make a difference

I want you to be
In the back of my mind
Because everytime I think of you
I start to cry
I know "us" is impossible
You don't have to rub it in
And yeah, it's impossible
To be just "friends"
You could've just told me
Instead of playing Pretend

Wasn't it just yesterday
That you said you missed my pretty face?
Wasn't it just yesterday
You said you loved me without doubt?
Little did I know
It was just yesterday
You asked her out

Well congratulations
I hope you're happy now

You can say
We are young
We know nothing about love
Then what is the look in his eyes
That stops all time?

Tell me why
When he kisses me
I forget everything
All my worry, all my cares
It's just me and him, right there

Tell me why
When his hand touches my face
It takes me to a whole new place
How simple it is
To live in this bliss

Tell me why
He knows me from the inside out
Yet he loves me without a doubt
He'd give up his life up
To show me his love

Give me a reason why
I shouldn't believe
What true love means

It's been a long time
Do you remember me?
I'm the girl you loved
When you were sixteen
We were so young
Didn't know anything
Except that you and I
Were mean to be
Together
But "forever" took too long
You got tired of waiting
And moved on to get a degree
At your dream college, Swanee
It's been eight years
Do you remember me,
The girl you loved at sixteen?

We were a little Romeo and Juliet
Hoping for a happier ending than death
Our parents said we were too young
And told us to wait
They wanted us to graduate
We would have to wait and see
If this truly meant to be
The years passed by
I gave other loves a try
But they never worked out
Like ours did
Even though we were just kids
There's something about you
I just couldn't forget
I felt the urge to cry
When I thought about you
And everything we've been through
Because the truth is
I haven't forgotten you
The boy I loved at fifteen

So how have you been,
After all these years?
You're a priest, you say?
Glad to know you've chased your dreams
But you say you're missing one thing
A wife
To keep you company at night
I hope you find the right girl for you
Very soon
What's that you say?
No, I haven't had my wedding day
Mr. Right hasn't come along
My love always turns out wrong
But it's good to know you remember me
The girl you loved at sixteen

Promise me you'll stay in touch
Even if you find true love
Always remember me
The girl you loved at sixteen

When I close my eyes
I can see you die
I see you take the last fatal blow
In the pain you're paralyzed
And there you lie
Your blood spattered on the ground
You take your final breath without a sound

When I close my eyes
I can feel remorse crash over me like a tidal wave
Because it took every ounce of my strength to be brave
To believe you would survive
You always did, every single time
You'd fight back
You promised me that

When I close my eyes
I can hear you calling my name
I swear I hear you say
"I'll be alright, love, I'll be okay"
Why didn't you stay?
I'm broken beyond repair
And you're the only one that cared

When I close my eyes
I can smell the flowers laid on your grave
There's the epitaph, written under your name
"A son, a father, and a friend
Gone but never forgotten"
You were my hold on reality
Without you, I've got nothing

When I close my eyes
I can taste the salty tears that fall like rain
The only way I can express my pain
You're still here
You've got to be
You promised me you'd stay alive
You promised me.

I should've seen it coming
Everytime you talk to me
There's something that you need
I should know by now
That everytime you're nice
It's just a trick
And it's making me sick
To know, I could've let you go

I should've listened when they said
"There's no way you can be friends
He's dangerous you should stay away"
But I didn't hear what they had to say
Now I'm falling
I'm falling so endlessly
Because I believed

You haven't changed one bit
Though you made me believe that you did
I was stupid not to see
You will always be the same
I was stupid enough
To fall in love with you again
I was stupid to think
You'd be everything I need
Silly me
