It's my first attempt, I hope you like it!
I've put it all behind me, nothing left to do or doubt
Some may say
But every silver lining always seems to have a cloud
That comes my way
Anticipated pleasure or unexpected pain
No choice I feel
Love is hard to measure, hidden in the rain
That's why you'll find me
Here all alone and still wondering why
Waitin inside for the cold to get colder
And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time
Hopin to fly cause it's almost over now
People come together, people go their own way
Love conquers few
And I'll do whatever I'll say what I need to say
Just not for you
How many days should I smile with a frown?
'Cos you're not around with the sun on your shoulders
And how many nights must I wake up alone
And know in my soul that it's almost over now?
Love is like a paper airplane
Flyin in the folded dent
Ridin high dippin low
But innocence is fair game
I'm hopin I can hold it in
Our love will die I know
