Can you see me when you l o o k ?

I’ve got stars in my eyes.

All I can dream about is having you,

You should come home.

It was easier to tell you to go away,

Than actually follow through.

The l i n e s are getting blurry,

When you say you don't want it.

Why does everything go wrong?

You will like it, because it is made with love,

But you know things change

And I still have a question for you.

Even though you said I was beautiful,

Did I still mean as much?

My life is a lot like yours,

But you're still a jerk.

You were never too smart.

I’m sorry if I’ve taken you for granted,

And I hope you can forgive and forget.

When will I get over you?

I just hope you don't replace me.

You think you've got everything figured out,

And I can't figure out why you're angry.

And I hate the time I’m without y o u ,

And how I’m not your special one.

I just wonder where I went wrong,

And if you're happy now.

So farewell my darling,

Its time for me to let go of you.

I never cried before you came along…

You gave me a reason to cry.

I wish it didn't have to end this way,

But please don't be scared.

Love is just an illusion,

And we're all going to die anyway.

I hate loving you,

And listening to sad songs.

I hate how you've changed,

And how I can't see any better.

I used to like things like that,

But I never really got to hold on to you.

I used to be angry at all those things

That d r e a m s are made of.

No one will ever know how…

And I decided never to go back there.

And it’s feels strange

When you don’t feel like you should.

I opened by heart and there you were

You had my h e a r t in your hands,

And you chose you crush it.

And oh how you aggrieved…

Welcome to my world.

I can still feel you touching me

Why did it get so complicated?

I guess nobody cares…

I wish I could forget those days.

I wish I could reach you,

Because I never expected this.

And then it came to me…

Maybe you were never here.

It is a strange place to be.

I admit, sometimes I am wrong,

But you didn’t have to gloat.

You broke it, you know,

And there is no mending.

We grew apart.

You deserve h a p p i n e s s ,

But never take anything literally.

You will see, but watch out,

You might get what you’re after.

You can trust me

With your shapes in the clouds.

I trust you…though I’m not sure why.

You don't want to know

How long I’ve been awake…

And I’m thinking I don’t want

To be awake right now.

And it's been so long since I last saw you…

And why didn’t you come here?

I couldn’t hold you,

Because my wrists were hurting.

I wanted to change,

But after I was with you

I was never the same again.

I loved you at all the wrong times,

Too bad you only loved me yesterday.

I tried to hold on to us,

But I was left in the dark.

We changed, we saw differently.

I think I need some time to think…

And I’m thinking it's time for me to forget about you.

Forgetting is the best thing we could never do.

I may look alive, but I’m dying inside.

Refreshing isn’t it?

Finally hearing the t r u t h .

Do you believe in who you are?

Don’t ruin your beliefs,

Because you have no idea what I’m doing.

I am working on the future.

In the future things will be better,

And you will not hurt my feelings.

And maybe next time

I will make my own mistakes.

I feel as if I have done something wrong…

Did you ever get the feeling that it’s over?

I thought you loved me more than anything…

And I thought you would come after me.

I want to get you out of my dreams…

I knew the answer in the beginning,

And I was not thinking of you.

You know I have been waiting quite a while…

And I really don’t care anymore.

Yea I’m still waiting,

But I’m not waiting for you.

And it’s ok,

Cause it’s too late.

Why did you wait so long?

And I know it’s not the best idea,

But I love you.

You were too late…
