"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day; so I'll never have to live without you."


Filled with so many longings
That can never be acted on
For if I did, I know I'd be left crying
Because I know ,in my heart, I never was the one

Your one and only is still out there
And so is mine
But this pain is so much to bear
Sometimes it makes me blind

Stealing my own will power
To keep myself away from you
Feels like you've gone all sour
All the things you said, I was a fool

Believed in the man I know you are
Instead of the boy who sees no wrong
You've turned being cold into some kind of art
But it's okay, I'll be alright, because I know I'm strong enough.
