It started late last June
I looked at you and fell in love
There was fire in our eyes
And I just couldnt get enough
You and me that Friday night
Remember how you asked me on a date?
I had the best time in my life
And I came home three hours late
Oh, my mom was worse than angry
And my dad was worried sick
But you saved me with an explanation
Of how your brake pedal sometimes sticks
Well that summer turned to autumn
And we both fell so deep in love
I never thought today would come
The day wed turn our backs on us
Were standing on my porch
You turn to leave me there alone
Im not going to let you go
Until I know what Ive done wrong
You brush the hair back from my face
And tell me its nothing personal
That its not anybodys fault
That its just time to let it go
I didnt mean to let
That tear fall down my cheek
But I know you wouldnt leave me there
So hurt and sad and weak
Your lips softly touch my face
You try to kiss the tears away
I hug you close and hold you tight
And whisper, It doesnt have to be this way
You pull away from me
And now theres tears in your eyes too
As you say softly, But it does.
Dont get me wrong, I still love you.
I yell, Then I dont understand
What could come between you and me?
If you say its me you love
Then theres no reason for you to leave.
You sigh and shake your head
You say, How can I make you see
That it doesnt matter what we want,
This is the way it has to be.
You turn around to leave again
And you murmur a goodbye
But I grab your hand and say,
Dont go until you tell me why.
Tears are falling from your eyes,
As you say, I planned to write it in a letter.
The doctors say I have two weeks to live
And theres no chance of getting better.
In shock, I say, They must be wrong.
There must be a mistake
Because youre young, healthy, and strong
Everything will be okay.
You whisper, Baby, you cant change fate.
What it is, thats what it is.
It doesnt matter when I go,
But what I do with my time to live.
As I let your words sink in
I start to realize what you meant
I asked, Then why would you break up with me?
Didnt you want me with you until the end?
He wrapped his arms around me,
Said, Darling, of course I did.
But I thought youd miss me less
If I broke your heart before I went.
He said, But now I understand
That if I did that, Id be wrong.
I need you by my side
Because your loves what keeps me strong.
