I used to be in love
with what you made of me
Blinded by the light
of everything you did

Thought I was being smart
Wouldn't let him break my heart
But the decisions I made
made it easier for me to break

Why was it such a high cost
to learn a simple lesson
Why must I fall apart
for you to fall back together into one

One heart, one piece
And I can't help wondering
Wasn't it better, oh so much sweeter
when there were two of us?

Echoes
My mind is screaming
the thoughts that I will never say
For you
got my heart beating crazy
It might just fall off of my chest
And it's crazy how
you took my life
Turned it all around
That voice and your smile
They're all I can think about now
You're all I can think about.

Life weighted on me
Obscure; couldn't find my light
Simple things broke me down
Today, it feels so close, yet it's so far.

Another day goes by
Nothing's the same; you're not around
Distance and fate did us apart

Feeling lost and found
Over crying as the wind echoed your laugh
Undoing it isn't possible
Nothing meant as much as you did to me
Didn't you notice how you ruined me?

Oh, but I'm finding that light
Hope was lost, but now it's found.

He didn't notice
He couldn't tell
She was broken before
She yelled at him
Her eyes teary
"I don't want you anymore"
She didn't want him
She didn't love him
She didn't need him anymore
It was over
She just knew it
Though it hurt
Such a strong and childish love

Four years old, I wish I could see
Fell off that sycamore tree, and as my daddy
bandaged my knee
I whispered quietly to him
"Daddy, what did you expect me to do?"

Nine years old, locked myself in my room
Mean kids at school, calling me things like they
had proof
I wrote on my wall
"Daddy, what did you expect me to do?"

Fourteen years old, the principal called him as
tears ran down my cheeks
My boyfriend had cheated on me so I slapped
him and detention is where I ended up in
He picked me up and I yelled at him
"Daddy, what did you expect me to do?"

Sixteen years old, held the note tightly in my
hand
Hopeless and crying, I kicked off the chair
Loosened grip so he could read
"Daddy, I'm sorry I never was what you expected me to be."

Love feels like you're floating on a cload and everything is oh-so-perfect and bright, but with the first glimpse of reality, it starts falling apart. Your cloud is gone and you find yourself falling infinite miles per hour. You know you will ultimately crash, but you continue trying to fly.
