I know that we did our best
We both put in the time
We made each other believe
I was yours and you were mine
But charades don't last forever
The game eventually ends
And so we must say good bye
No longer lovers or even friends

I'm ready to try again
To open up my heart
To let somebody else in
who won't tear it apart
I'm ready to start anew
And know that it just might
Not turn out to be forever
I'll know I'll be alright

I could tear up all of your pictures
and burn all of your gifts
I could convince everyone else around me
That you no longer exist
But my heart will know the truth
It will look past my lies
And know that I still want you
But God only will know why

I always dream of a happy ending
where wishes do come true
to fall asleep in the arms of the one
who says I love you
I just can't wait for the day
For my prince to set me free
Whisk me off to a fairy tale ending
That's just how it's meant to be

You strung me along
And played with my heart
Pulled at my strings
Til I fell apart
Smiled to your self
And thought "Damn, I'm sly"
Left my pieces scattered
And alone to cry

Life isn't always easy
Choices aren't always right
Somtimes you will wonder
What keeps you up at night
Laughter can hide sadness
But it won't block the pain
Smiles can cover the tear drops
But they won't stop the rain

Living it up then falling back down
I loved the way you pushed me around
Smiles with tears, hurt with laughter
so much for happily ever after

I miss the way you touched me
And held me in your arms
I miss the way you treated me
With your warmth and charm.
I miss the way you looked at me
And said, I love you
But most of all I miss the way
I meant those words too

Without you here beside me
I have no room to grow
I can't help but remember
All the things I used to know
I wish you were still here
To help me through it all
Because I know without you baby
I feel very small

It's hard to think that life goes on
Without you by my side
And yet here we both are today
Leading different lives
But no matter where the wind blows
Or how far we may go
We'll always have each other
And that's all we need to know
