After everything that's happened
After everything we've done
It's hard to feel the memories
And to think you were the one
Emotions they went flying
And away my dreams had went
Just another stupid fight
I didn't realize what that meant
So now that it is over
All things said and done
So many things could have been different
Now look at what I've done
There is no second chances
For a person who's had tons
There is no feelings left
For a person who had none
So as I turn away
And swear never to come back
I'll hold up my oh so perfect mirror
And watch it slowly crack
I'll take a minute to realize
What I left behind
Then I will return to home
And sit alone and cry
I cry not out of loneliness
And never of regret
I cry cause of the way I thought
"Oh, he'll come back I bet"
If I would have known
That it truly was the end
Maybe I could have fought harder
Maybe I could have begged
But the end has long since passed me
As I sit in tin a world of fog
And now I finally realize
You are really truly gone
Theres nothing I can do
And theres nothing I can say
You already left so long ago
There is no begging you to stay
So I try to pass time
Not thinking of your name
And trying not to think about
How nothing will be the same
Silly little boys
With stupid little names
Keep my mind away from you
For almost a whole day
But then dawn turns to dusk
And they slowly fade away
And there I am again
Wishing you would have stayed
And wishing for your breathe
To softly heat my face
Just the way it always did
At the end of everyday
And wishing for your heat
That alway held me tight
I never realized how cold it is
When you're alone in bed at night
So as I make these wishes
And realize all the truths
I realize wishing is a waste of time
There is nothing I can do
As I dry up all my tears
And put a smile on my face
I slowly unfold myself
From a strangling embrace
As I begin to stand
And I realize I am strong
I slowly start to realize
That today I will move on
