I back again, in this town, to find a girl that i used to know. I bumped into, a friend of mine, and she told me where to go. She said go right down, the 56th street, make a left at the corner store. There'll be a house in the alley way, hope she didn't move away. I pray she's still around, but somebody came to the door that I didn't know, and I knew to let it go. Is it over, all over? I let a good girl get away. How could I ever let it get away? Today is not a happy day. So many words that I had to say, and baby I miss you and I need you your love. How could i ever let it get away? Today is not a happy day, it could've been our anniversary. I'd do anything to have you right here in my arms. Remember when, we talked about, all the things that we planned to do. Our wedding day, our house in the valley, maybe a kid or two. We could've had it all babe, but somehow it all fell apart. Now I'm feeling so ashamed, to see your pretty face in pain. I never should've lied. I'd give anything, to see your pretty face again. Hold you, to feel you, heaven give me one more chance. How could I ever let her get away? Today is not a happy day. So many words that I had to say, and baby I miss you and I need you your love. How could i ever let her get away? Today is not a happy day, it could've been our anniversary. I'd do anything to have you right here in my arms. If only it were possible, for me to turn back the hands of time. I'd do anything, give anything, just to make her mine. I can't live without your love babe, I can't go on another day. Where did she go? I gotta know, I let a good girl get away. How could I ever let it get away? Today is not a happy day. So many words that I had to say, and baby I miss you and I need you your love. How could i ever let her get away? Today is not a happy day, it could've been our anniversary. I'd do anything to have you right here in my arms. I'd give anything to see your pretty face again. Hold you, to feel you, heaven give me one more chance. How could I ever let it get away? Today is not a happy day. So many words that I had to say, and baby I miss you and I need you your love.

I don't know if I'm more upset about the fact that you've changed, and that you've become one of those people I was never really fond of. You were never one of those "whatever" types of people, and even if you were being sarcastic 80% of our last conversation, you were never that sarcastic to me before. Reading our old conversations just broke me down, knowing that things will probably never be the way it used to be. You were always someone I could always relly on to make me happy. I loved talking to you even when we talked about nothing at all. You challenged me, and you truly and honestly made me think "outside of the box". I ran to you when I was sad, and it was amazing how you could easily make me smile without even trying. That night when I had that huge fight with my parents, you were the first person that came to mind when I walked out of that house...and that was when I found out that you were one of the many few who could "unfrustrate" me no matter how bad situations were.
Lately, I've been thinking about you a lot...and I miss how we used to talk so much, and I miss how you would call me up just so we would stand outside for 5 minutes while you had your smoke. I guess I had my chance, right? but I just can't help but to wonder what would've happened...
The reason things didn't work out with "him" was because you kept popping in my mind. At first, I thought it was just another one of those stupid phases I was going through, but then it kept happening even after.
People do change and I get that, but I guess it just sucks 'cause it happened so soon. I just thought I knew you better, but I guess I can't cope with change as well as I had hoped. Maybe you still are that person who can make me smile, but considering how you flipped after I had told you how I felt; just comes to show that things have really and truly changed.
Too many "what if's" and unanswered questions. I guess good things don't last long, or they never did for me. I guess I really was expecting a little too much...
I'm sad.....'cause I haven't seen people in so long.....because I work 24/7 now.....and I'm always tired.....and I think my legs are breaking.....and people disappoint me.....and I hate how I have to wait 5 business days for my paycheque to go through.....and I miss people.....and some people make me mad.....and some make me sad.....and I'm tired.....and I hate waking up at 7:30 in the morning for work.....and I hate work.....and I am SO sick of Christmas music.....but I need a laptop.....and work makes me thirsty.....the manager's a bitch.....and we're her guinea pigs.....and I miss high school.....and there's only 3 more days 'til Christmas.....and I can't wait 'til Christmas.....and I think I'm done.
I just realized how much I relly on my friends to keep me happy...I miss them.
I don't know how, I don't know why. But girl it seems, you've touched my life. You're in my dreams, you're in my heart. I'm by myself, when we're apart. Something strange has come over me, a raging wind across my seas. And girl you know that your eyes are to blame. What am I supposed to do, if I can't get over you? Come to find that you don't feel the same. 'Cause I'm falling, falling, girl I'm falling for you. And I pray you're falling too. I've been falling, falling, ever since the moment I laid eyes on you. I lose my style, I lose my ground, I lose myself when you're around. I'm holding on for my life, to keep from drowning in your eyes. Girl what have you done to me, to make me fall so desperately. To think that I don't even know your name. How am I supposed to live, if I can't get over this? You decide that you don't feel the same. 'Cause I'm falling, falling, girl I'm falling for you. And I pray you're falling too. I've been falling, falling; falling, will you stay or will you go? Heaven; heaven knows what my future holds. Questions; questions linger on my mind. Day; from day break to dark of night. I'm falling; I don't know what's come over me. Can't you see I'm falling, falling, girl I'm falling for you. And I pray you're falling too. Falling, falling, ever since the moment I laid eyes on you.
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
