Dont Leave

When you told me you were leaving
my world stopped and shattered
you were my best friend, no matter how worthless you felt
you mattered to me

Somehow I wish you could just stay here
that you were not leaving, that you were always neer
it seems sometimes if I just dream
by some means you would stay here

If I could just make you stay
by some kind of compromise
perhaps you could comprehend how I feel
if you leave, I dont think my heart will ever heal

Thinking of you, my blood boils still
although I realize, hate you, I never will  
the past few days spent fighting back tears
struggling with unspoken fears

You're leaving to escape a life you so despise
to be free of all the lies
my only hope, is that you find happiness in your new life
and that all your enemies find a quick, painful demise

Try to forgive  
you asked me to live  
gave me the strength to try  
to never give up and dream as big as the sky

I will not forget the memories we shared, good or bad  
gaze across the days we spent together, remeber the fun we had
I have to accept the inevitable, please help me say goodbye    
its hard loseing someone so sublime

I guess what I am trying to say Brooke
is that before you go, take a good look
at everything that your leaving behind
and ask yourself, is it worth it
