No matter how may people are watching you, no matter what they are saying and what they are doing, it doesn't change the fact that you are you and that you are amazing.


The sun came up today just like they promised
And underneath the clouds, the sky is blue
Things are just the same as they were before
The only thing is before, I still had you

My eyes are red and sore from all the crying
I’d been cursed with restless sleep from dusk ‘til dawn
In my head I know there is no point in grieving
But I still can’t believe you’re really gone

What were you trying to prove?
What made you not want to stay?
If only I could’ve pushed you out of harms way

I knew that something was wrong
That’s why I followed you there
Could you see through the dark enough to know that I did care?

How can I move on?
You know you were the world to me
What happened to spending our lives together?
Because I’ve lost all of you
And half of me


Do you remember sitting in my boat
Messing around and having fun?
I saw that shining gleam in your eyes
As we watched the setting sun

I thought you’d tell me anything
I thought we were okay
I guess that I thought wrong
When I thought that you would never go away

What were you trying to prove?
What made you not want to stay?
You know I would’ve stood up for you any day

I knew that something was wrong
That’s why I followed you there
Now all that I can picture is the color of your hair

How can I move on?
You know you were the world to me
What happened to spending our lives together?
‘Cause I lost all of you
And half of me


I wish we could go back in time
Back to when we just first met
I can’t change that I lost you
But you, I’ll never forget

I almost lost someone important to me, and I can only imagine this is how I would've felt.

Hello

This says something, try packing it together more though.  It's fine like it is but that's what I've got as advice.
