I'll just cling to the memories.
The happy thoughts...
I just I'll just cling to something I made up.
Cause obliviously I'm the only one who is thinking this way...

I guess I'm chasing you hoping that you might chase me back and then we'll end up in each other's arms or something...
But I'm chasing myself into the dark woods...

Standing in the middle of a wind storm trying to be heard...
Trying to call your name...
To tell you I'm scared.
To tell you I can't live without you knowing me.
Trying to tell you I love you.
But the words are stolen by the storm and lost in the wind.

A summer's night was ending and a new day dawning,
The late night air hung sweet and careful
Yet no one was actually being careful.
The reckless fools.
Most thought highly of her...
But she didn't think that of herself.
The air hung still waiting for an answer...
Waiting for a sinner or a saint.
The devil won that dance.

Sometimes the memories flood into me.
Like they were a river and I was the ocean...
The only thing that never came home, came back to me, was him.
As if the emotions weren't bad enough
I had to realize that he was never coming back.
I had to realize that I was never going to call him mine.
I had to realize that I was never going to hear him say my name that same, sweet, caring, adoring way ever again.
Nope...
But the worst thing
Is that I'm still brought to tears when I see him...

Two couples started out.
Me and him.
Then
She and his best friend.
It was marvelous!
Until that February,
Everything changed.
My parents.
My parents wanted the change.
So it happened.
We could have pulled through, but I thought my relationship with my parents was more important than my happiness.
I chose wrong.
I'm now still in class with the surviving couple, thinking of how it could have worked, but I wasn't brave enough...
I want the two couples back...

My tears are crystal clear
My thoughts are crystal clear
My heart is crystal clear,
It's crystal.
And you just shattered it.
It's hard to glue those pieces back together
... They break again and again...
I just need someone who will stay till the scars heal and who wouldn't shatter it again.
