"I am bent but not broken, I am scarred, I am sad but not hopeless, tired but not lifeless, afraid but not powerless, I am lost but not giving up."

Quote by _ Unknown

My lyrics are inspired by HTP -Hughes Turner Project song, Fade Away (Sorry, I made it so dark) (Musical Introduction) There is darkness all around us and in the shadows we caress as trees creak and moan a sad song and with a kiss I whisper be strong be strong be strong be strong be strong Love never meant to be our future empty oh why can't you see love not enough I cannot ruin your life forgetting us is very tough yes, I have this sharp knife and love will fade away Just hold my hand until the end I wish we had a chance to love but, I can't let go so you come this is how we will be one e v e r forever forever forever ever Love never meant to be our future empty oh why can't you see love not enough I cannot ruin your life forgetting us is very tough yes, I have this sharp knife and love will fade away (Musical Interlude) Just hold my hand until the end I wish we had a chance to love but, I can't let go so you come this is how we will be one ever hold me as we fade away we fade away away away away away away into the darkness falling falling falling lovers holding hands fading fading away fading away a w a y a w a y a w a y but, then I cannot, cannot, won't and let go of your hand and watch as you fade away . . . into the water
