The Children Who Broke Down (You and Me)

I watched you fall before me
Begging and yelling for me
To tell you that everything was alright.
It wasn't alright.
And I couldn't help but tell you so.
I told you that no
Matter what you try
To do, you end up crying
Like a little child
Wanting his mother to hug him
Into her arms.

I told you that tides come and go,
And that nothing is just so
Easy like people say it is.
Life isn't all that it's
Been made out to be.
But you gotta keep
Living through the bad
And remembering the memories you've had.
And I can't promise you that it'll
Turn out like it should.
I want to say that everything is gonna be okay...
But if I found the courage
To say that blatant lie,
I would break down and cry.

And I remember telling
And yelling
To you
That you
Couldn't love me
I'm too wild to be
Loved by a person
Of your heart
And I knew I started
What I couldn't stop.
And there are too many tears to mop
Them all up in one apology.
Between the two of us, sorry
Means absolutely nothing
It could never mean anything.

The fragile life we had built,
Has been shattered and spilt,
Given to the next doomed lovers,
And the concept just hovers
Above us,
Wondering if it's
Allowed to be real
Again, to make us feel
Alive together again.
But we can't begin
What we've ended,
And I've gone around
The world and back,
But it didn't mean jack.

To you, I want to say
That it's supposed to end this way.
Everything is how it
Should have always been.
I've whispered once too
Often about you.
You'd never have heard me,
And that's how it should be.
I can't stop the fate
That we've built
For us, and only us.
But we can't go back for us
Because that's not written in our
Fate for each other.

Page stretcher... sorry. I can't spell stretcher either, unless I spelled it right.
