It was nine on the dot as I laid in my bed

The summer's cool air and I seemed like a comforting pair

As I lay awake I sensed a feeling that I couldn't seem to shake

So I sat there,

Praying to God hoping that we make it

Because by now I know your senses are awakened

The love I have for you somehow can't be shaken

You see, I thought the harder I loved you the harder it'd be for you to leave

So I got down on my knees and I prayed God please

If this is your plan let it come to pass

And if i'm wasting my time help me to fall back

I know love in this generation is a fairytale

Like the princess and the pea

But what if we could make it in the books like history?

They say forever don't last too long these days

But,

What if we can make it last if we simply just pray?

And trust me I know that this is all so new

You scared? Well I'm scared too

You hurt? Well I hurt too

You bleed? Well guess what? My blood sheds too

And since we were the same I thought you'd never cut me loose

And, since we both feel pain I thought we'd put this one in the books

But, I guess love is more complicated than it looks

And, it's easy to think the love runs deep on both sides until you take a better look

You said it was me and you against the world

When in reality it was me against you AND the world

And I want to hate you but I can't

Want to wish bad on you

But I wish nothing but the best for you

I hope the next girl you encounter doesn't experience half the pain you put me through

Because words cut but, love cuts deeper

And maybe if I didn't love you

I wouldn't be so much of a weeper

You know, it still doesn't make sense to me so could you explain it to me please?

How can you love me but break my heart into two?

Leave me to my bleeding heart, broken and missing you?

Or I guess the better question is,

How are you so happy when I'm so blue?

You know, I don't think I'll ever understand

But, I guess I'll accept it

And, even though this love has caused me to drain

I'll still love the next as though I never felt pain
