I hoped you'd never go
I'd wished you'd always stay
I always wished for snow
But the sky gave us rain;
We were broken from the start
It felt so good to break together
Swore you'd never break my heart
And now you swear it to another
I could say I'll miss you
People say a lot of things
I'll miss all your untruths
And the happiness they'd bring.

Sometimes I panic to accept that you're no longer around,
Until I see you smiling safe and sound.

So I let myself have it:
the time, the freedom.
And it hurts like hell,
But **** it's been fun.
I've risen with the moon,
And set with the sun.
I've outrun time,
And chanced my luck.

Just as the night
can never be with the day,
We are who we are,
and that can never change.

There's a time and place that you love me,
And for that I should feel lucky.
Though I crave it constantly,
I know that's so unhealthy.
So Ill let you go
into all of your dimensions.
I love you so,
but have I ever mentioned
how I also love the moon
and the stars above the mountains?
And the quiet as I swim
through the lake in the early mornin...
It seems I forgot how much I loved
anything but you.
Felt so wrong to pull away but
If I could tell you the truth,
Sometimes I like it better when you're gone,
So I can put on my favorite songs,
And get lost in the afternoon.
I've been so scared for far too long
That if I took the time
You'd carry on
Without me,
And I'd be just a memory.
But I think what I was really scared of
Is letting myself fall out of love
With the notion that I needed you
To be all that I wanted to,
And that I could be happy
Without you beside me.
So I begged you to keep me
And put everything aside,
To sacrifice what I had
When I left myself behind.
And though I do love you,
I am so grateful that you left.
I was never strong enough
To lay us down to rest.

I'm starting to question,
Not the truth in your words,
But if their representation,
Matches their worth.
If it's real,
If you mean it,
There's no deadline.
Seal the deal,
Then get depleted,
Lingering like a punchline.
The worth of your words depreciate-
So much I can't appreciate,
A single thing you say.
Having anything means nothing,
till you can have it all.
Don't tell me that you want me;
You got no one else to call.

All these whiskey loving gentlemen,
Just trying to find some peace again.
They're fighting off questions,
Of their intentions and their existance.
They run the night with wild women,
And they always walk with rhythm.
And it's quieting their demons,
But they're screaming for a reason.

It's difficult to understand.
It's even harder to explain.
Though you are my umbrella,
You are also my rain.
