We used to be so close, you and I Your radiant light drew me in and I wanted to be the one to make that light shine But somewhere along the way We went in different directions And now You've gone down a path I cannot follow I can’t say I’m happy for you Even though I want to, if I did It would be admitting my loss I know you won’t go back But even so, I stand at the point Where we were separated You and I are different now You went your way And I went mine Although our paths have crossed again I feel the distance that has grown between us Like a physical pain And I cry out Only to find myself all alone Somewhere far away

I always wanted to be strong enough To say something like “I’ll protect you” But in reality, it’s me who has to hear that When will I be strong enough? When will I be good enough? You've made your decisions They've led us down different paths You think your actions don’t affect everyone else, but Surely, somewhere, someone is crying because of you I loved you But I never knew how to say it And before I knew it, you were gone Heading down a path I couldn't follow Sometimes you turn back and smile at me But you never hear me crying out your name Why can’t I just let you go? Can I say I’m strong enough

I've been by your side this whole time I've watched you grow And I've watched you change It wasn't always easy There were times when you wished you'd stop existing You talk about dying like it's nothing I can't stand to hear those words But you stand right back up You won't let anything get in your way And although you may be afraid You will go on You will survive If something makes you happy But no one else understands Don’t worry about what the others think You don’t exist to please anyone else When you fall down You get right back up You are strong Even when you’re afraid It’s what I admire the most about you Ca

Turn the lights off Close your eyes and go to sleep Turn the lights off And fade away, fade away You’re my most important person Thinking about you gives me hope But you’ll never know I love you And that’s what scares me the most Is it because I’m afraid of rejection? Or is it because I’m too scared of commitment? Turn the lights off And let your worries fade away There’s nothing left now You’re all I wanted Just close your eyes At least you can escape for a while Nothing matters anymore Be strong while the lights are on Hold it all back No matter how much it hurts to smile Don’t let anyone k

I was chasing after them, crying for them to come back. It was as if we were stuck in a void with nothing but the mist, looking like ghosts with nowhere to go, at our feet. Blackness surrounded us everywhere, but none of that mattered. All I cared about were the three people getting further and further away from me. “Wait!” I called out. “Come back!” As I ran, images flashed through my mind. III looking down at the ground, his green eyes full of sadness. IV leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, looking off to the side wearing his usual irritated glare. V turning around and beginning to walk away, his long ha

Walking down this lonely road Until I find something at the end Why do we try? What’s it all for? I’m constantly asking these questions But I can’t seem to find an answer There are people all around me But I’ve never felt more alone Who am I to feel this way? Why do I have to reassure myself that it’s okay to feel? It’s okay to be the way I am So why am I ashamed and worried? I won’t let them bring me down I won’t let them change me Why are they so important to me, If all they’ve done is push me away? Move away from them But don’t let them go I wanted them to love me I wanted to b
