if only you knew me
the way you think you do
there’d be so much more to say
and even more to do
the person inside me
is nearing breakthrough
the only hidden thing
is what i need to do
I was up pretty much all night off and on writing this for a friend.
I remember we sat outside and talked in the cold
And you told me things I’ll never forget so I’ll never let you fall
(So please don’t cry…)
You’re too pretty to let those tears fall down from your face
And I’ll always be there for you, no, you’ll never have to wait
(So please don’t cry…)
You can count on me, you will never be alone
Yes, I will be there, you won’t be alone
It’s ok, baby, please don’t cry
We’ll make it together, I’d never lie
Believe in you, you can do it I swear
I know you are able, you’ll make it there
Inside of you is the key that unlocks all of your dreams
If you believe in yourself I know you can do anything
(You don’t have to cry…)
Happiness comes to those who want it bad enough
So just stand up even when this life seems like it’s getting rough
(You don’t have to cry…)
You can count on me, you will never be alone
Yes, I will be there, you won’t be alone
It’s ok, baby, please don’t cry
We’ll make it together, I’d never lie
Believe in you, you can do it I swear
I know you are able, you‘ll make it there
So just look inside if you need to hide
You can make a change to a better place
Just believe in you the same way that I do
Don’t cry
No, please don’t cry
It’s ok, baby, please don’t cry
We’ll make it together, I’d never lie
Believe in you, you can do it I swear
I know you are able, you’ll make it there
It’s ok, baby, please don’t cry
We’ll make it together, I’d never lie
Believe in you, you can do it I swear
I know you are able, you’ll make it there
You don’t know my name
You don’t know who I am
You push me around and
You put me down
I don’t fit in with you
What am I supposed to do
*Am I supposed to change
Even though things would be the same
I won’t (no I won’t)
I won’t change for you
And everyday
I’m doing things my way
And I just want to say
I’m going to keep living
I’m standing in your face
And you still don’t see me
Sometimes I don’t know why I try
At night you don’t see me cry
I’m seeing a little clearer now
*repeat
Am I supposed to care
Even though you’re not there
I can’t (and I won’t)
I can’t change for you
Starting today
I’m being my self
Cause no one else
Can keep me living
I’m sitting around *Cause I got you We’re gonna make it to the top *repeat We stick together I got you and you got me *repeat We know it in our hearts
Trying to think of what to do
Then I hear your voice
It’s like the start of something new
I feel like I’m riding on a cloud
No one can stop what I’m feeling now
No matter what we might go through
You got me
No matter how hard it seems
We got we
I know you’ll be there ‘til the end
You know I’ll have time to spend
We’ll always know in our hearts
That no one can tear us apart
Even then we’re not gonna stop
Well do the best that we can
Don’t stars shine bright, that’s our plan
Everyday we make it
Everyday we take it
Everyday we fake it
But that’s alright
Now and forever
Everything’s right
Now is the time
There’s nothing else we really need
It’s the only thing we see
Forever like this we will be
No one can tear us apart
What you said to me
It did get to me
But I acted like it didn’t
I laughed along
I play my song
And wonder if you regret it
*My life is unraveling fast
I don’t know how I should act
Should I be mad at you
Or should I fee the same way you do
I don’t think I can handle the pressure
But I know it’s now or never
So I guess it’s true
I’m really over you
I told myself
That you were someone else
Because I didn’t want to believe it
Yeah, you were wrong
I play my song
And wonder how I didn’t see it
*repeat
So I’m guessing this is the end
Of whatever it was we had
The wasted time I spent
In believing in you it makes me sad
I feel so alone
I really should have known
That I can’t count on you
No I can’t count on you
*repeat (x2)
Do you regret it (I’m sure that you don’t)
Do you regret it (Can’t say that I won’t)
Do you regret it (Staying steady this time)
Do you regret it (I know I’ll be fine)
Do you regret it
Do you regret it
Do you regret it
Do you regret it
It’s been time to go
Forever but
I never wanted to leave
But the longer I put it off
The more it hurts it seems
You used to be a part of me
But now it’s time to leave
We had our secrets
We shared our stories
But there are other things
That are more important than these
I used to never doubt you
But now I wonder if
Things used to be so simple
But now it’s time to leave
I sit alone
And think of you
But these are not happy thoughts
You’ve found another to make you laugh
And that makes me want to shudder
You used to make me smile inside
But now it’s time to leave
You used to be the inspiration
For all my happy songs
But those were few and far in between
And writing them took too long
You’re not the type of muse I’d like to have
The root of my depression
To think I used to be happy
So now it’s time to leave
I’m leaving now
I’m only two minutes away from the sunset
And I wonder if in the morning you’ll miss me
Then I push the thought from my head
Because to me it seems to you
That I’m already dead
