"If you only knew all the love that I found,
It's hard to keep my soul on the ground."

Oh how cliche to say
that you are my Romeo and I am your Juliet.
But that's as close as I can get to describing this dilemma
Without describing my parents.

You are beautiful.
Inside and out
Whether you choose to believe it or not,
I will convince you of it.
You are the most wonderful thing.
And honestly I think I can tell the difference now
So don't tell me I'm wrong.

Why do I have to find you so perfect?
Why does this have to be so perfect?

Why do you have to leave so soon?
Why do you have to commit to
the one thing I hate most in this world?
I cannot be with you forever
no matter how I want to.
No matter how I'd love to.

Because I can't ruin your life,
my own,
and my future family's.

How cruel a world, making me let you go
"For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

And now I play the opposite role
Read from the opposite script
You read the lines that once were mine
And I'll read his.

How did I become this part
The liar, sneaker,
The one who loves less
And you became who I was once
The one who
Accepted second best.

I couldn't stand the way he was,
But loved him still
You cannot help the things you do,
The way you feel

How do I go on this way
Practicing these lines.
I look into these empty eyes
And see him inside

Recite with me these endless lines
Play the timeless role
We play these all too familiar parts
In our own love show.

It's the bittersweet irony of life
That I should find you
I tried to resist for so long
But I fell into the snake pit.
I lie in comfort while you hold me
But what about the day
When your hold
Wraps around my neck

But I try not thing think of that
Because you've got me in your grasp now
And I can't escape the boa's grip
So
Think of it this way, my friend

What's more exciting than living your nightmare
What's more insane than being eaten alive?
Let yourself free-fall and make all the wrong turns
You are embraced by the one thing you fight

I watch their worried stares
As I lie here in the snake pit
As the boa wraps himself around my heart
But I don't struggle,
No I'm not crying
For there is no stopping this once it starts.

Let's go back,
Back before I was eight,
Before the times that 'aren't so great'
Before the world showed me 'choice'
Before it stifled my voice
Yeah, let's go back to the core of me
I would bring in the night, howl with the setting sun,
Standing on the petals going as fast as I could
I was free
We made caves out of dirt piles across the street
And mud pies
Before, when the only scars were the scabs on my knees
And my parents still kissed
Every night he got home.

When being happy was easy,
Not a choice

And life was adventure

Oh yes please take us back to
Where the wild things are

Look at what you've started
Now, just look at what you've done
Who the **** do you think you are, little girl,
That you can go make a mess of things

Restart the counter,
Countdown the clock
Start another round
Pain ******

Look at the **** you cause

The fire you continue to fuel

Was it worth it?

Just three more days
Until I get my baby back
Just three more days
Til I can kiss his hand again.
Tell me how am I to pass the time
Every second is a countdown
Yes,
This weekend
I'll hold my beautiful lover
On Friday
He'll get to hold me too.

It seems like it's been such a long time
Since I ran my fingers through his hair
Seems like it's been a million years
Since I last held his hand.

Oh everyday I pray,
Wish for him to come home to me
Where we can stay forever
On everyday I wish,
Hope for him to say he's coming back to me

And that he's never gonna leave.

Just three more days...

What if the afterlife
Was whatever you wanted it to be?
What if the heaven that existed
Was the heaven you believed?
Would you still follow all their rules
Would you still believe in one
Without me?
What if it was whatever you wanted
Would it still be the place they tell you to believe?

What if we were all free?
Free to make up our own minds
About what lies past that door.
What if we had never heard
Of a person named "God" before?

What would our own souls choose?
What would our own minds think up?

If we could create
Any heaven we wanted,

What would your heaven be?
