You've got to have ink in the pen!


I remember that night so clearly
Me and you and the stars up above
11:00 the streets were dead
And so was I, for being out too late

But I’d give anything
To have that night back
The memory is perfect
But that’s all it is now
Just a memory
Slowly fading, fading

It’s not fair
I’m just another girl
On your list of past crushes
You’re the one guy
Who had enough my heart
To break it

You said you were falling in love
Then took the words back
You promised never to hurt me
But you, you did
I believed in you, and you let me down
I gave you the benefit of the doubt
I chose to trust you
My mistake…

You played with my heart so carelessly
What can I say?
You’ve trashed it now
Back and forth, back and forth
Like some kind of game
You lead me on
Then pushed me away
I’m slowly slipping
Away, away

It’s not fair
How can you mean so much to me?
When I mean nothing to you?
How can I loved you to bits?
When you’ve crushed me to pieces?

The funny thing is
I hate romance
Always did
‘Til I met you
For some reason I thought
We’d live ‘happily ever after’

My mistake…
Your loss…

This is about a close friend who almost became more, but became nothing at all instead.

"Where to, Miss?"
"To the stars."

Definately his loss. I feel bad, because I started to this to a friend, and then realized what I was doing. I've tried so hard to make it up to him, and I think I may be succeeding.

PS~my favorite line was the '11:00 the streets were dead/and so was I, for being out too late' :D
