And it feels like this is the last chance I have to say
Every word that I've been fighting.
Well I have finally decided, to hold my head up with pride
And accept the way life takes you through these changes.
Cause when you reach the stars, you've made it.
It's just something that I've been dying to let you know-
And now that you're gone I'm holding on, and I just can't let go
I get a little down on my self.
But when you came around
The world felt knew
I opened up my eyes to the light
And I saw deep inside of a love that was true
And if I ever let you go,
I'm hoping that some time will show-
That you're the one, you're the one for me
And it feels like this the perfect time for me to say
That deep down inside I'm hurting, but at least I know you're worth it.
And if I hold myself with pride and accept the pain
Then life will take me through these changes cause I have so much left to see.
It's just something that I've been dying to let you know.
Cause now that you're gone I'm holding on and I just can't let go.
I get a little down on my self.
But when you came around
The world felt new
I opened up my eyes to the light
And I saw deep inside of a love that was true.
And if I ever let you go, I'm hoping that some time will show-
That you're the one, you're the one for me
So lets go back down to the back of that river where we we can dive right in
And forget about the worries from the world outside, cause you know my world,
My worlds not over because I have an angel on my shoulder.
And I'll be coming home, and when I feel those butterflies
I'll see that I need to find a better way just to believe you're gone.
So long, some day I'll find the strength to move on.
I get a little down on my self.
But when you came around
The world felt new
I opened up my eyes to the light,
And I saw deep inside of a love that was true.
And if I ever let you go,
I'm hoping that some time will show.
