I Will Not Give Up
Images burn inside my head
All that we were...
All that we could have been...
And all that we are now...
Nothing more than friends at best
And now I'm left with nothing more
Than a tower of pain crashing over my chest
Looking back I can not help but to smile
I do not regret a single moment spent
We would walk hand in hand
Lather in the lust that we shared
But now the what ifs remain
And now I can not sleep or eat
The movie plays repeatedly through my brain
It was a tale of a man who waited patiently
And was given all he ever wanted
Only for it to eventually walk away
But as with most, this tale has yet to end
There was once potential in me just being a friend
I will never ease to our goodbye'ing
But if all does not go well
I could easily die trying
