Lyrics
I swore to it that I’d spend the rest of my days next to you, and in the stars, I would always have my place so that you could guide me home, and I’d never be alone, and every night night we’d fall asleep on the phone. No. So if I don’t hear back by a quarter past twelve, I might as well take it as a sign that you’re gone to stay, you’ve thrown it all away, and darling, I won’t be fine. I’ll pray to God you’ll be alright as I turn out the light. I swear I’ll try to make it out alright, but I can’t promise you that. Everything just hurts so bad. I hope you know it’s true: I love you. And even now, I hope and pray that all of this is just a dream, that I’ll wake up tomorrow and you’ll be my girl. This is harder than it really seems. I could put this off for a year or two, I might as well get it done tonight, and maybe for the first time in my life I’ll be able to sleep alright. I’ll pray to God you’ll be alright as I turn out the light. I swear I’ll try to make it out alright, but I can’t promise you that. Everything just hurts so bad. I hope you know it’s true: I love you. I’ve got a finger on the trigger and another by it’s side, and it’s screaming “just let it go,” but I can’t find the strength to pick one or the other, and everything is moving slow. I can’t live with myself if I just let you go, so these are my last words and I want to let you know… The love we shared has disappeared, your heart is now with him. Just so you know, I love you so, but this is the end. My lips may be compulsive liars, but my eyes will not surprise; I’d rather end up dead than hear you screaming any name but mine. I swear I’ll try to make it out alright, but I can’t promise you that. Everything just hurts so bad. I hope you know it’s true: I love you. I swear I’ll try to make it out alright, but I can’t promise you that. Everything just hurts so bad. I hope you know it’s true: I love you. The love we shared has disappeared, your heart is now with him. Just so you know, I love you so, but this is the end. My lips may be compulsive liars, but my eyes will not surprise; I’d rather end up dead than hear you screaming any name but mine. The love we shared has disappeared, your heart is now with him. Just so you know, I love you so, but this is the end.
