It doesn't have to be this way.

Every time get lost in my thoughts
And my own reality seems so far away
Then everything I ever felt comes back
And it’s like reliving each day

I can still see your crystal green eyes.
They’re as cold as ice just waiting to crack
I still get lost in them every time.
Just like a memory I can’t get back.

You were always rough around the edges.
But you had always loved me for me,
Made me feel like I was something special.
You opened my eyes so I could see.

But behind your tough exterior,
hid your true feelings and colours,
Behind your eyes lied your fears.
But you could'nt tell the others.

You were never truly happy.
And I always questioned why.
Now I finally understand.
The reason you had to lie.

How could I be so blind in the mist of my life?
That I couldn’t see that you were in pain.
You were slowly fading away.
And you had nothing left to gain.

But you had the chance to escape your life.
And find a place where you could smile
Find a home where you could belong
And be happy for a while.

I knew this was what you needed
You had wanted to live
You needed a brand new start
Something I couldn’t give

I can’t remember the last time we talked.
And over time I’ll be hearing less of you.
Soon I won’t be able to hear you at all.
And there’s nothing I can do.

If I could scream out your name,
You would still be lost in my heart.
I would only find a painful echo.
That symbolizes we are apart

I couldn’t make you stay
And I can’t make you talk.
It was your choice to stay or leave
And you had chose to walk

And so this seals my letter,
I hope you’ll read it one day.
I want you to know that...
It doesn’t have to be this way.

Thanks for Reading!
