Surely One Day


I thought you were too great
Thought you'd never see me
But when we met 
My friends considered you a threat

I should have listened 
Highschool love is fake
And now I'm sickened
Falling is a terrible road to take
Because to you it was only a game
And never felt the same

Now I say goodbye
Before you break it all
And just watch you fly by 
While I fall 

I am strong
I am proud
You were wrong,
Now I've found; 
The love I was never given
Yet sadly it must stay hidden
To protect myself
It will now hide on the shelf
Not for you, not for my family

But surely one day I can live happily

For she'll always be with me
