Our Separate Ways

Why did we go our separate ways
It was love at first sight
Though I was too scared to admit this to you
Then you had to go and I had to stay
I had never cried as much as I did that day
My soul left, and I died inside
But my heart is still the same
I love you,
And that will never change

Today

It was today, that my mind went astray
Today is the day we leave
I’m going one way, you’re going the other
No matter what I know you’ll still be on my mind
What could be, what has passed
Without you I’ll always be coming last
Tears in our eyes, love in our hearts
We said our goodbyes
I will never forgot today
Because today is the day I died inside

One Last Time

I woke up every mornin'
To see your smiling face
We loved each other
That never changed
We met so young, we were so blind
We thought our love would last throughout our lives
We should have known better
Love never lasts
It always fades
I remember the last time I saw your face
As you walked out the door
Anger in your heart, tears in your eyes
You grabbed your suitcase, we said our goodbyes
You walked out the door and left me there
Not understanding why you left
You just told me you had go
You left and thats all I know
Everyday I wish that I could see your face
Just one last time

The Night You Died

I still remember that night
It was 40 degrees but it felt ice cold
I was standing at the door
Two policemen telling me that you were gone
Telling me there had been an accident
My mind wouldn’t work, I couldn’t comprehend it
You were my love, you couldn’t be gone
I was alive, you were dead,
That was all that was running through my mind
Tears in my eyes, my heart heavy, I sat down and cried
Why I asked, why you
But even though you’re gone 
I still love you

Shadow

I am shadow, lost in a world of light
Outshone by day, hidden by night
I’m in the background, you see me everyday
But you don’t care; to you it’s all the same
You don’t feel loneliness like I do
You could never care to
You have friends to guide you through
But no one is there for me
I am a shadow

Loves Blindness

I remember the days we spent together
Hand in hand, happy, our hearts content
We always smiled when we were around each other
I thought it was love, I though you were the one
Then that cold winters night, you ran away
I don't know why you left, I loved you
Why did you run, what did I do to make you leave
I chased you as long as I could
But you were gone, gone for good
I never found out why you left me that night
But you took my heart and you took my mind
I always thought it was love
Was I always that blind?

The Day My Life Ended

The day we met
My life began
We both knew it was love
Our hearts were one and our minds the same
Until that hot summers day
You were driving home to see me
After a hard days work
You never made it home that night
You weren’t far from home when it happened
A car came from round the corner
It was moving too fast
You didn’t have time to move 
It was over in seconds, the pain faded soon
You were gone and they were alive, thats all I knew
My eyes were full of tears, my heart full of pain
I knew I’d never seen you again
My life ended that day

Losing You

I was waiting for you in this empty house
You were late again, I waited for your car
But it never came, I didn’t know why
Until the police came and said you’d died
I couldn’t believe it, this couldn’t have happened to you
You were my love, it couldn’t be true
Tears in my eyes, pain in my heart they took me to see you
I saw you lying there, so peaceful and quiet
It was your end just as you were beginning to start
I couldn’t take it, losing you
My mind failed, I didn’t know what to do
The knife in my hand, the grief in my heart
I knew you’d be waiting for me, then we’d never have to be apart

Waking Up

I woke from a dream and fell into life
Into a world full of misery and strife
Where people don’t give a damn
Unless its got to do with them
In a world like this
How can anyone want to exist
Living in a world with this pain
Makes me never want to wake again

Why

I never really knew what happened that night
I was a little bit late, but home was in sight
I walked in the door and I saw you there
Tears in your eyes, gun in your hand
You stared and at me and pointed the gun
I asked why, but you couldn’t talk
You pulled the trigger, I hit the ground
I never knew what I did to make you so mad
I loved you, but still you cried, still you pulled the trigger
You watched me die,
I don’t care what you did that night
I just want to know why, why did pull the trigger, 
Why did you sit there and let me die?
