Juliet, Thank You
Isn't it funny how much things change
Isn't it funny how much we crave the things
that never turn out right
like how for 11 years
we crave growing older, growing up
to finally realizing
there's these sets of rules and stupid handbooks
we have to read and follow
read and obey
How did they conceal it so well from us
internet videos and tv screens?
Good to know...
But one thing I've known to never change
no matter how combative I became
no matter how many tempers flared and we became unaware
no matter how the passing of time
kept us further and further apart
Juliet, I've always had you at my side
Juliet, You were always the one to pick me up
Juliet, somehow you always found a way
to see something better in me
when all I saw in my self were battle scars
and a pile of dust
Juliet, Juliet
how do you do it
stay so cheerful and optimistic
Juliet, Juliet
how do you smile so often and say it's okay
I'm just the lover
I guess I'll never understand
just doomed to wonder
Juliet, Juliet
We have said Forever and Always
Always and Forever
I'm never taking it back
but Juliet, Juliet
I don't know if I'll ever say it
when your hands are within mine
but Juliet, Juliet
I can't promise anything
or leave anything behind
I'm behind schedule in my plans
and what I hoped to accomplished
I've been stuck in a rut
since the last time
I said, 'Hey I'm on my way'
Juliet, Juliet
I'm tangled up in you
and my eyes speak to you everyday
that I love you
No matter what
it will never change or fade
just promise me, promise me
in acoustics or in a calm gentle tone
say that you feel the same
I don't know what I'm trying to say
guess I'm swept up in the emotion
of hitting rock bottom again
for I remember everytime
you force a laugh from my voice
force a smile upon my lips
and then I turn out fine for awhile
until your face disappears from my gaze
then square one comes back to be my home
Oh well, it happens
well only to me...
anyway I just wanted to say thank you
for always staying with me
for always just being you
for always looking as gorgeous as you do
I don't know...I don't know
but these words know it for me
Thank you
Always and Forever
Forever and Always
