Loves symphony

[vaultofshadows]

I learned very early on that I had to walk over my happiness as if it were thin ice. So fragile and unpredictable. I knew at any moment it was going to break and I would fall through the cracks, yet again. I began looking around every corner waiting for doom to jump out at me. Most of the time, it did. That's just how it went and I learned to deal with it. In fact, I adapted to it. Even when happiness was to be had in my life, I was too afraid of when it would end to let myself enjoy it.

What I am trying to say is that things like this don't happen to me. People like you don't just walk into my life and change everything the way you have. I don't get to have happy endings...

You've changed all of that for me and if don't remember anything else, please remember this...

I'll Be

The strands in your eyes
That color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains
Thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth

And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated; I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache
That hangs from above

(Chorus)
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
And you're my survival
You're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead

And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated; I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache
That hangs from above

(Chorus)

And I've dropped out, I've burned up
I fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on
Remembered the thing that you said

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

The greatest fan of your life
