As the leaves begin to change, I'm lying again on my face, and this cool air takes me back as I remember this place. I'm here with paper and a guitar, so I'll write about how I got this far.

What has to happen for me to understand? That second chances aren't worth it, what's the master plan? And would it be all right, if I sat alone here tonight? Believe me when I say, this is not a lie, you had me at goodbye

You can never go back to how things were, but you can move forward to create something new. Will I be ok? Will we be all right? This is something I've got to do. So say a final goodnight, let sleep take you, but again this is something I have to do.

And just for a moment, I take a breath and hold it. And just for a moment, I'll no longer know it. And just for a moment, I take a breath and hold it, and just for a moment, I'll no longer show it.

What has to happen for me to understand? That second chances aren't worth it what's the master plan? And would it be all right, if I sat alone tonight? Believe me when I say, this is not a lie, you had me at goodbye

So let the goodnights begin, just close your eyes girl, and say goodbye. This war in my heart, it begins to start, once the lights go out and the nights are just about all I have to think. Say goodnight.

I take a step back to see where this started, in my heart and mind, this is something that won't be parted with, Now turn around and run away, they'll try to chase you down, but don't worry 'cause I'm here to stay. Don't you worry now, just listen to what I have to say!

Go, run for your life, don't ever look back. They'll **** you if you try. We can make it through the night. Girl, just close your eyes, you'll be all right. I'm right by your side. We can make it through the night, you'll make it through the night

The moonlight is dancing in your hair, with the stars above, we're both running away scared. But there's something in the air tonight, now look my in the eyes and kiss me one last time. Just two midnight runaways.

Go, run for your life, don't ever look back. (I'll only hold you back)They'll **** you if you try (just keep running). We can make it through the night. Girl, just close your eyes, you'll be all right (I swear I won't let you down). I'm right by your side (this is my promise to you). We can make it through the night, you'll make it through.

You know you've got me, sitting on the edge of my seat. And I hope you know, there's no place I'd rather be. We can just sit here, or look into my eyes and you'll see

Little did you realize, you told me how to get past your eyes. So I'll say a prayer, now I don't have to lie, about how I feel. Taking steps in my mind, trying to think of how to find, a way to tell you.

I watch as sparks collide, in mind to your heart. I tried to fight, but I've known from the start. That this would happen. To you and I. But I'm terrified that this will be our final goodbye. So instead of goodbye, say goodnight. So instead of goodbye, say good night

I close my eyes, I won't say goodbye, until I know just how you feel. I will abide, just from the look of your eyes. How do you feel?

Can you feel it now? (Something I've never felt) Can you feel it now? (Your eyes make me melt) Can you feel it now? (Should we take the chance?) can you feel it now (save me one last dance).

In my heart there's a weakness, for your secrets. In my mind there are things I wish I could say, but I don't want to stay. In a place of desolation, I drown tonight. I no longer see you as a light.

So **** me now, I'll keep fighting with these voices my head. How do you think I felt, when you left me for dead. You left me empty, the only thing in my chest is a shattered heart. Is this for the best?

In my heart, I knew this would end from the start. You let me down, you know that there's no sympathy to be found. All I take away, is a bad taste and broken days. So say goodbye, you know that your love was lie.

So I'll scream, with a knife in my back. I swear to you I'll be the last one to laugh. So I'll scream, with a gun to my head. These feelings won't come back from the dead.

So **** me now, I'll keep fighting with these voices my head. How do you think I felt, when you left me for dead. You left me empty, the only thing in my chest is a shattered heart. Is this for the best?

Don't lie, I see it in your face, every time you look at me with such distaste. Goodbye, you have had a hold over me for to long. Oh, your the reason behind this song.

We're sitting alone, the rain is trickling down. going back and forth in my mind. And I don't know how this will go. I don't know what to say, I don't how to let you know. I don't know how to save you. Just please don't go

Oh this is what we get, take me back, please just take me back. Don't let go, don't say goodbye. Oh this what we get, take me back, please just take me back.

I'm standing alone tonight, trembling with a phone to me ear. Going back and forth in my mind. Imagining a ghost on my doorstep. And I hear you end, as our face's mirror tears rolling down our cheeks. And I know you didn't let go.

We won't let go ( please don't let go) of this notion, we have every reason to want this, but is this worth the risk, is this worth losing everything.

Your touch is so warm to the skin, oh your words are so cold to the heart, your touch is so warm to the skin, oh your words are so cold to my heart

But oh this is what we get, take me back, please just take me back. Don't let go, don't say goodbye. Oh this what we get, take me back, please take me back.

You say you won't let me down, you say you love me. You say you would rather lose everything than to lose me. Why the hell would you make empty lies, why the hell would you make me empty.

This is what living lies does, to friends and family, this is what living lies does, to broken hearts. This is what living lies does, this is what living this way does to the ones you loved.

This past year has changed my life, but I don't want to live through it all again.

So tell me (so tell me), so tell me (so tell me) what should we do? So tell me (so tell me), so tell me (so tell me) what should we do? Please tell me (please tell me), please tell me (please tell me) what the hell should we do now?
Its amazing how one person can walk into your life, make such a huge impact, and then walk out of your life

Oh why do I care, when I know you don't feel the same for me. Why do I care, when I know I'm nothing and you see, I'll wait here, being my pathetic self, and I'll have your back, even though I'm convinced you don't care about me, and I'll wait wondering at night, if we'll ever be OK, if we'll ever be all right

Close my eyes, take a breathe, letting it go, I wish I could just do the same for you. But I have you in the back of my mind and the front of my heart, wondering if your OK, wondering if your in pain. 'Cause I know that even with the pain you caused me, I still care, and I still hope that you'll never go back to that place, but still I ask myself why do I care

Three hours down three to go until the sun rises, and I still wait in vain, for sleep to take me. To let myself relax, to let myself let all the worry go away, why the hell do I care so much, to someone who caused me so much pain. But maybe its not a question at all. Maybe I should be thankful for caring so much. But these sleepless nights don't help me see that.

Oh I know I may still care, even when your gone, when you don't need me. And you throw me away, throw me away like a piece of trash, that you've used again and again. But I don't care about me, about my well being. All I care is that your OK, that you don't need to take it out on your arms, that you don't have that knife to your throat. Please tell me that your OK, and that you care the same as me

I smell the fragrant of the rose, it brings me in, but I don't understand my feelings just yet. Time passes and the rose comes close to death, I rush to save it and at that moment I realize what I really feel. But in the back of my mind I know every rose has its thorns, and every one of them can cause pain

So I let go, of what I wanted to most, but I keep coming back, the red of the pedals is what keeps me. Its so pathetic, to hate something but still miss it so much. So again I reach for the stem, and again I feel the thorns dig in so I let go.

The tighter I try to hold on the more the thorns push deeper, but I feel its more painful to let go. So I hold on tighter and tighter till I bleed, but I need this pain, to let go of what I've been holding on too. So I can finally let go.

But I still cant at the moment, I need to let time pass, let the pain grow of holding on and the pain to let go to fade, I hope this come sooner than later, but I know that won't happen. So I close my eyes and just breathe, let the pain come in, the blood come out, until I'm drained.
