Reason to Believe
I just have a feeling
that change is on its way
someone who will stay
and help me finish healing
It would be nice to understand
what it is to have the faith
to forgive another's mistakes
A relationship that could withstand
separation, confusion, distress
without becoming a broken mess
All I've ever seen of love
is a never-ending burden
but if I could only be certain
that I had someone worth fighting for
who I would never want to let go of
then I would have a reason to believe
that love is something I can receive
that change is on its way
someone who will stay
and help me finish healing
It would be nice to understand
what it is to have the faith
to forgive another's mistakes
A relationship that could withstand
separation, confusion, distress
without becoming a broken mess
All I've ever seen of love
is a never-ending burden
but if I could only be certain
that I had someone worth fighting for
who I would never want to let go of
then I would have a reason to believe
that love is something I can receive

Fearless
In this moment I am healed
I know it's all for the best
There's no need to be distressed
Everything has been revealed
and despite our best intentions
there was no simple solution
no way to avoid confusion
or method of prevention
After all that time spent
wondering if you could be mine
I'm finally able to be content
with being surrounded by love,
friendship, sisterhood, and knowledge
all the things I never get tired of
I don't miss telling you goodnight
There's no way for me to be sad
when my future is so bright
I know that...
I know it's all for the best
There's no need to be distressed
Everything has been revealed
and despite our best intentions
there was no simple solution
no way to avoid confusion
or method of prevention
After all that time spent
wondering if you could be mine
I'm finally able to be content
with being surrounded by love,
friendship, sisterhood, and knowledge
all the things I never get tired of
I don't miss telling you goodnight
There's no way for me to be sad
when my future is so bright
I know that...

Just for You
I can't wait for the day
when I can't remember how it feels
to be head over heels
and willing to go out of my way
to bring you any amount of joy
I was way in over my head
all of my own thoughts left unsaid
until there was nothing left to enjoy
I spent so much effort and time
trying to help you through life's troubles
that I was unable to climb
out of the deep hole I'd fallen into
So no matter what happens now
You cannot rely on me to get through
because I'm not willing to lose myself
just to save you
when I can't remember how it feels
to be head over heels
and willing to go out of my way
to bring you any amount of joy
I was way in over my head
all of my own thoughts left unsaid
until there was nothing left to enjoy
I spent so much effort and time
trying to help you through life's troubles
that I was unable to climb
out of the deep hole I'd fallen into
So no matter what happens now
You cannot rely on me to get through
because I'm not willing to lose myself
just to save you

Fate Takes a Wrong Turn
Who can tell what's meant to be
If it will be worth the strife
to choose that particular life
When you consider you and me
it quickly becomes clear
that it takes more than fate
and a willingness to wait
for the right time to be near
Even doing all the right things
does not create a magic so strong
that everything can't go wrong
So in the end I will argue
that fate needs a little assistance
which can't be achieved through distance
If it will be worth the strife
to choose that particular life
When you consider you and me
it quickly becomes clear
that it takes more than fate
and a willingness to wait
for the right time to be near
Even doing all the right things
does not create a magic so strong
that everything can't go wrong
So in the end I will argue
that fate needs a little assistance
which can't be achieved through distance

On My Own
I thought that what I wanted
was for you to feel my pain
But I've learned there's nothing to gain
from sharing the feeling of being haunted
So even when I want to throw
everything right back at you
I remind myself that I got through
and now I'm ready to let go
Just one last reminder
Next time you're in this situation
try to be a little bit kinder
Because you can never really know
how much you might mean
to the one who's watching you go
was for you to feel my pain
But I've learned there's nothing to gain
from sharing the feeling of being haunted
So even when I want to throw
everything right back at you
I remind myself that I got through
and now I'm ready to let go
Just one last reminder
Next time you're in this situation
try to be a little bit kinder
Because you can never really know
how much you might mean
to the one who's watching you go

Surprise Ending
What would I have done
if I had seen into the future?
If I could have predicted
the way things ended
Destruction so permanent
that nothing could be mended
If telling you goodbye
could have prevented
further torment at your hands.
I don't have to know the answer
to know where I stand
All good things must come to an end
Even when I never thought I'd see the day
When you wouldn't be my friend
if I had seen into the future?
If I could have predicted
the way things ended
Destruction so permanent
that nothing could be mended
If telling you goodbye
could have prevented
further torment at your hands.
I don't have to know the answer
to know where I stand
All good things must come to an end
Even when I never thought I'd see the day
When you wouldn't be my friend

Twisted
I can't stop searching
for the person you used to be
The one who stopped the hurting
and saw the real me
You made me a better person
I hope you can say the same
You're not the one I blame
for the twisted version
of you that I see now
I can't help but look at your face
and see my own disgrace
I was the one who didn't know how
to find my new place
in a world without you
for the person you used to be
The one who stopped the hurting
and saw the real me
You made me a better person
I hope you can say the same
You're not the one I blame
for the twisted version
of you that I see now
I can't help but look at your face
and see my own disgrace
I was the one who didn't know how
to find my new place
in a world without you

Never Be Alone
I have you to praise
for who I am now
I'll never understand how
you could even brighten the days
when I almost gave up trying
As I attempted to tackle the unknown,
you never let me be alone
I never spent time crying
unless it was beyond your control
to stop me from being afraid
There was no way for you to console
when the only thing wrong
was fear that I was losing
the only one who could make me strong
for who I am now
I'll never understand how
you could even brighten the days
when I almost gave up trying
As I attempted to tackle the unknown,
you never let me be alone
I never spent time crying
unless it was beyond your control
to stop me from being afraid
There was no way for you to console
when the only thing wrong
was fear that I was losing
the only one who could make me strong

Lost in a Vision
In each perfect moment
you think it's impossible to forget;
Time never seems like a threat
No thought of future torment
In each perfect conversation
the future seems to hold
the greatest tale ever told
No thought of future frustration
I knew it couldn't last forever
that our time would run out
I was prepared for whatever
might happen down that path
All I needed was one chance
to be the one to make you laugh
you think it's impossible to forget;
Time never seems like a threat
No thought of future torment
In each perfect conversation
the future seems to hold
the greatest tale ever told
No thought of future frustration
I knew it couldn't last forever
that our time would run out
I was prepared for whatever
might happen down that path
All I needed was one chance
to be the one to make you laugh

Nothing Left but Anger
I've been through this before
so even when you're careless
I'm still able to suppress
the urge to ignore
every time you reach out
Consider this a warning
I've long ago stopped mourning
our detour from the route
that would have connected us
We both had something to lose
but it was you who had to choose
With nothing left to discuss
Your friendship I will refuse
Because you chose wrong
so even when you're careless

Perspective
Every day I struggle to understand
what it must be like for you
--the world from your point of view
Every obligation and every demand
When I put myself in your shoes,
I see why you had to end
the path that went from a friend
to someone more painful to lose
I know that you were scared
You couldn't predict the future
There was no way to be prepared
It doesn't matter anymore
But just so you know
You didn't have to close the door
what it must be like for you
--the world from your point of view
Every obligation and every demand
When I put myself in your shoes,
I see why you had to end
the path that went from a friend
to someone more painful to lose
I know that you were scared
You couldn't predict the future
There was no way to be prepared
It doesn't matter anymore
But just so you know
You didn't have to close the door

False Hope
When I think about future days,
you are always there
proving to me that you care
It may not be in the same way
Not the same feeling we once had
but it gives me some hope
Some way to cope
when everything else is going bad
Then suddenly I realize
that this is all just a joke
Our friendship is full of lies
I don't want to be a consolation prize
I want to really matter to someone
It's time to cut all ties
You aren't the person I need
One more step and I'll be freed
Hope is supposed to be proof of love
but all I feel is hate...
you are always there
