In this life
there are no
clean breaks...
but starting again
is a chance
that you can take.
I always thought
that someday we would
overcome the bad luck
and from the burden the gift would come.
Maybe I
should have known better.
But I know we're coming closer to the end
of whatever
this has been.
When you're 16
you don't know what "forever" means.
When you are 23
you couldn't be more sorry to say.
That "After all
this growing up together
all the good
has gone away."
Sometimes the boys
that should be your best friends
become strangers with familiar faces.
Just don't tell me
that it's all
too far gone...
that they weren't meant
to live on...
and don't let go.
I just don't want to
have to pretend...
if we're not in this together...
if we're just stuck inside our own heads.
And I'm sorry that it took me so long
to find the words to write the song
that we can all still truly believe in
but I truly believe
that we can still
start again.
