Remember when things were fresh and new,
When you lived for me and I lived for you,
When time stood still and things were perfect and swell,
Even then, I should have known all too well.
You were perfect, you were guy of the year.
I was lonely and awkward and consumed by my fear,
But you took my hand and you gave me a chance.
You took this nothing girl and taught me how to dance
Like no one's watching.

But now time's passed and we find ourselves here
After all the good times that we had the first year,
Now our differences come out and we've stumbled and fought.
We're trying now, but we're both really at fault.
You have plans for life but I'm stuck here in my head.
You want to succeed; sometimes I wish I was dead.
I'm holding you back but you want to help me fly.
I've done my best but I'm tired of trying
Since no one's watching.

You decided to leave, so I'm here once again,
Living each day when I just wish things would end.
You call when you can but I don't know why you do,
With all the girls and the guys there that are all just like you.
I told you one night it's getting too hard to do,
We screamed and we cried but we both had a clue
That this was the end, we couldn't go any longer.
We did what we could but we never got stronger
And no one's watching.

It's just another night and I'm alone in my room.
Tears are hitting my pillow as I'm thinking of you.
My heart, it still aches for the good times and bad.
My memory is full of all the fun that we had.
But those days, they're over and I heard from our friend
That you had found someone else and you were happy again.
So I guess you won't miss me when my life is over
I'm tired of life and I can never start over.
No one's watching.
I dare someone to songify this :P
