I have come to see a great deal of things by now
Through my experience there still are many things I do not know how
But I have never let that keep me from my ways
I'll burn my worries away within a cloudy haze
Because through the thick of it all
I still keep finding myself right where I left off
Encumbered motionless entranced by your spell binding abductive power
You know exactly how I'd take your hand through your darkest hour

I still don't know if I was ever any good for you in the past
But the seasons bring weathered changes to us all
We can only choose if we stand or if we fall

I've become something so different from what I was back then
No I am not bitter being just a friend
But there is a part of me holding on to the pieces of the past
I feel like together now I know we would last

There is nobody ever I could put before you
When we are around there is nothing else I'd rather do
I have put everything of mine right on the line
Just to bring a smile to your teary eyed face
I even risk playing the fool and becoming another disgrace
Oh how I must be a fool falling for this love again
knowing better the love you do not send

I still don't know if I was ever any good for you in the past
But the seasons bring weathered changes to us all
We can only choose if we stand or if we fall

I've become something so different from what I was back then
No I am not bitter being just a friend
But there is a part of me holding on to the pieces of the past
I feel like together now I know we would last

I could never blame you if you ever went on your own way
No matter how much I'd love to beg you I could never force you to stay
But I can not shake these feelings for you right now
The way I wound up in this place I do not know how
You are the only variable I can find to fit in my life
I truly believe together we could finally end all of our strife
You have always been my best friend who could be so much more
You have always been the one that I choose to adore

I still don't know if I was ever any good for you in the past
But the seasons bring weathered changes to us all
We can only choose if we stand or if we fall

I've become something so different from what I was back then
No I am not bitter being just a friend
But there is a part of me holding on to the pieces of the past
I feel like together now I know we would last

There is nothing you could ever do that I would not forgive
There is nothing I would ever intend to destroy your happy thoughts
I'd piece together paradise for you wit my bare hands
So long as I do not reach exile for foreign lands
I would do every thing within my power through my darkest hour
Just to lift you up for a chance to touch the sky
I'll lay in the shadows imagining what it'd be like to fly
Freeing myself of envy just at the gimps of your smile
This is a state I see lasting a while
As I find myself dedicating this life to you
