If I could sing you one last song...
Danny sent me a box the other day. Inside was a scrapbook photo album that took me like a year to make, all the notes that I had put into a jar for him--one to open each time he missed me, a rock we picked up during our 2-year anniversary, and some handcuffs I bought. On top of that, he removed me from his Facebook friends. He has officailly deleted me from his life. It hurts, but I'm letting go.
I used to know you like the back of my hand
Until today you held your place
Now you're shifting like the sand
Your chest would heave with pride if I were spoken of
'Till tonight I never knew the difference between comfort and love
I used to hold you like it's all that I had
Now begins the falling out, we are like a passing fad
Your mouth would crack a smile if I were spoken of
'Till tonight you never thought
you'd lose this epic battle with love
For what it's worth, I've always admired you
I always thought that we could make it through
Now look what time can do
It took our masterpiece we built and broke it in two
I always believed in you
I always loved you
And this is so difficult for the both of us
I know we tried so hard, there's just no hope for us
Well it's more than a shame that we lost to this game
All my walking, talking, sleeping, breathing -
nothing will ever be the same
and now that you're gone
I would like to thank you, for showing me
A part of the world that I have never seen
Yeah, I was young and dumb, but it still was fun
I'm forever indebted to you
I hope you feel the same
You seem like such a big part
Of my life and my heart
But the truth is I've found something new
And [he] easily towers over you
stranger to stranger.
And when we get home, I know we won't be home at all
This place we live, it is not where we belong
And I miss who we were in the town that we could call our own
Going back to get away after everything has changed
Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
So we stand here now and no one knows us at all
I won't get used to this
I won't get used to being gone
And going back won't feel the same if we aren't staying
Going back to get away after everything has changed
Taking up our time
It's taking up our time we can't
go back, we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time, taking up our time
Cause you remind me of a time when we were so alive
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
we'll be all alone.
You fade away, on top of broken dreams
And take it all from me, separate my heart from body
Please forgive me, I'm not used to this kind of thing
I once thought things would last forever, and now it's over
In my mind, in my heart, you're all that I find
Bury my head in my arms upon the table
Old flames die hard when you're holding the cards
You were dealt hearts that you never should have folded
Can't stop when it's all down on the table
Give me a sign, show me something so divine
For all it's worth, I'm a broken [wo]man
Running against a better hand
In the end the sky came falling
Over our heads
You separate my heart from body baby
Please understand
All I know is I [was] a sucker for you
I'm done, move on, our time was once upon
we're dead, to me, you're dead, sweet dreams, sweet dreams
and
They couldn't believe I did it
But I was so committed
My life was so restricted for you
I just dove inside it blind
Couldn't see what swam inside
Thought that'd be romantic for you
Exchanged my vows
And said it all
Woman, let's prepare to fall
Even, screaming did it for you
(Remember?)
And don't you worry
About our angels
There'll get good guidance
And be trained well
Don't worry I'll keep a little secret
When I ask this question
Why should I be sad?
Heaven knows
From the stupid freaking things that you do
(Stupid freaking things)
Why should I get mad? Feel sad?
Who knows?
Just take it all
As a sign that we're through
Goodbye
It's time for me to move along
(Goodbye)
It's time for me to get it on
(OK)
I'm tired of singing sad songs
(All right)
It's time for me.
but
I'm out the door, its automatic, simple babe (why you wanna do that to me)
I'm like a fire, bottle bustin in your face (why you wanna do that to me)
So tired of you being up in my space, (what you gonna do with that)
How much more could I take?
I'm tired of privates driving, need a general that ain't weak...
When I shut the door leaving with my bag, hit the scene in my new wag
Bet he gonna wish he knew the type of fun I'm getting into,
Peek a boo, he good...doing things you wish you wish you could,
He's not talking, he's just walking like them city boys from New York
This time I need a soldier, a really bad ass soldier
That know how to take, take care of me
I'm so damn glad that's over
This time I need a soldier, I'm sick of toy soldiers
A boy that knows how to take care of me,
Won't be just coming over...
I want it more than ever now,
I realized that they ain't listening,
Like a princess supposed to get it
That's why I'm dusting off my fitted,
Coming back looking delicious,
Yes I know they wanna kiss me,
Now I hold them at attention.
I used to know you like the back of my hand
