They say it’s pathetic to live in the past. Strange, what they have doesn't ever last…

But we –

Were always so strong. 


And I never liked to “play pretend” 

‘Cause, we're not meant

to settle for less And you –

Were the one who taught me that.


They say I’m insane,

we were never "friends"

That all I ever was - was a means to an end

And you – would just smile and prove them wrong.


They say I’m better off -

you were always trash 

But I guess,

they just don’t know you like that

I know

 you – 

Are all I'll ever want.


…Said, I'm more than a little “touched” 

for holding onto false hope…

To be “ the butt of a joke..”

 

It’s clear - they've never really been IN love.


 They say, to “give it up”

But, they've never known faith, 

Like the kind I have in you,

to this day …


‘Cause, you're the only one

who

Believed in “us” at all. 


And - you’re the only good in a cold, harsh world -

my light in the dark. The “wise man's words” 

That echo, so clearly through the depths of my soul.


They say, I'm the one 

you'll never love,

I guess they don't know the sum of us. 


But I - I know us far too well. 


And I never had trust, except

in everything you'd say

cause, your actions showed

you'd never walk away, Now - I

I'm kinda wrecked ‘cause,you're gone.


But, It'll be the end til I let this go 

I can still feel forever in my bones. 

And you’ve never had a reason to lie. 


I wish I could remember- So hard to forget 

The days I swore I’d live to regret

The night we both admitted to our love. 


They say they know what’s best for us-

But if all they’ve known is giving up 

Then who are they to say anything at all?
