I'm right in front of you
Are you blind to the truth
I wish you just knew
We're slowly losing our youth

I can't stay much longer
Why can't you just see
Together we can be stronger
Please let it be

If you don't want this
Please tell me now
But I'm right here in front of you
I'd understand if you want to dismiss
But I couldn't see how

I am here for you
But I won't always be here
Our days are few
Our lives we should endear

I won't be here long
I'm turning away my eyes of blue
I'll sing my last song
And say good-bye to you

Everything I went through
Everything I did for you
Your feelings weren't true
You just wanted a toy to *****

If you think I'm crawling back
There's something wrong with your head
Our screen has faded to black
Leave it with the unsaid

I was under your spell
But no more of this because
I hit my head when I fell

I am walking away from you
I have to do what's best after all

You won't see my face anymore
Not even a note in the mail
I don't remember what I loved you for

Go find another heart to play
Go find a girl who will play your game
Make sure she doesn't stray
Before you even know her name

I hope you wake one day
And just feels so small
All of this I tried to say
But there's nothing left after all

I'm not sure of the feeling
Whether it be good or bad
But it is my heart you're stealing

I like the effect you give
It makes me feel alive
It gives me a reason to live

When I am around you
There are no other faces
I don't know what to do
My heart just races

No more can I sleep
I just lie there awake
These feelings run deep

Where do I stand
Where do we go
These answers I demand

Your run through my veins
I can't get you out of my head
I will be bound in chains
When this poison does spread

Why is it this way
You are so far away
Way more than just a day

You said you would come home
Why aren't you here
I'm hitting the dark to roam

You said those words to me
You made me a promise
But you're across the sea
You're not home with us

You never really call
I wish you were home
I just want one call

I'm sorry that I cry
I just miss you so much
Please come home, please try

No air of my own to breath.
Stuffed like a Christmas turkey,
I find an escape beneath,
Beneath the floors of the murky room.

I fall to the floor
No one is around
My body they do ignore

I open my eyes,
Not a soul in sight.
Was it a dream in the night?

It was just a dream
This is just an empty room
My tears start a stream

When I am left alone,
I am left to think.
No one to hear me groan,
They wouldn't even blink.

Love's gotta be tough
It cannot be easy
Or it won't be enough

We will never understand
The power it has over us
It never goes as planned
And we make such a fuss

We try to change it
We try to fix it
Why don't we let it be?
If it is here
Then why do we fear?

Perfections we shouldn't seek
In one ear, out the other
Don't run when it's bleak
And when close, don't smother

We will never really see
That we cannot control it
So just let it be

Long narrow path of dirt and gravel
When I need to clear my head
You are my way to travel

That warm summer air
That sweet smell of cedar
There is no better place, I swear

Miles and miles of road
Enough road to clear my mind
My secrets I have showed
When I drive that road to unwind

I have one hand on the wheel
And the other out the window
This road is all I wanna feel

Sadly I reach the end
Same time tomorrow
Spent with my only true friend
