Countdown

Yesterday it took me 3 hours to calm down

It was one of our best dates

As I went to sleep and I clutched my pillow

I still felt your hand in mine

 

This is why I never got over you...

Yet I know I shouldn't get attached

But deep down I know I love you

And we don't have long till you go

 

This is why, I need to leave after you do

I can't stand living in this city

When I know I will never be happy here

Not without you by my side

 

Problem is we can't be right now

...

Because we would hold each other back

All your dreams and mine will have to do

 

I would never want to hold anyone back

From achieving their true potential

Being together would do that to you

If I love you I will let you go and not fight

 

Although it will **** me when we are apart

I will settle for the happiest I will ever be

For the time we have left

Yet I know it will be a beautiful goodbye

 

The firery walls are slowly caving in

Yet I am clinging on to every last second

In my head I am holding you and just

Slow dancing in this burning room

Settling for pure joy right now, knowing I will be beaten and very down in a few weeks time. Every second is worth it
