If I were you I&#039;d promise to live life for all it&#039;s worth, take all you&#039;ve been given and leave your mark upon this Earth. Trust your heart to show you everything you need...and if you were you, I&#039;d fall in love with me. -unknown<br /> <br /> <br /> fear not, for I am with you;<br /> <br /> <br /> be not dismayed, for I am your God;<br /> <br /> I will strengthen you, I will help you,<br /> <br /> <br /> I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.<br /> (Isaiah 41:10 ESV)

I knew you better then I knew myself
So if I said I hoped you wouldn’t leave
I hoped you wouldn’t
I knew you would
Did you hear my plead
‘Cause forgive me, you did not
I hoped you would
I knew you wouldn’t
You turned away as if I wasn’t there
You just kept walking, never looked back
I hoped you wouldn’t
I knew you would
I call giving it one last shot
Answer?
I hoped you would
I knew you wouldn’t
So here I shout a sorrow filled goodbye
“Goodbye,” I hear back
I hoped you wouldn’t
I knew you would
