If I would have known

If I would have known the way that this would end
If I would have read the last page first
If I would have had the strength to walk away
If I would have known how this would hurt
I would have loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second I would change
Not a touch that I would trade
Had I known my heart would break
I'd loved you anyway
It's bittersweet to look back now
At memories withered on the vine
Just to hold you close to me
For a moment in time
And, even if I'd seen it coming
You'd still have seen me running
Straight into your arms...

Just Came Down

You could hear her name
When she was warm and tender
And you held her arms around you
There was nothing
but her love and affection
She was crazy for you
Now she's part of something that you lost
Now she's moving further from you
Every step you take
reminds you that she's walking away
Every word you never said
Echoes down your empty hallway
And everything that was your world
Just came down...

...

And I miss the times when the world I ran to was enough to get me through the day..

I hate that all that fills my mind are pages full of questions that start with what if..

I wish I had known what I know now..

It scares me that given the chance I'd go through all of it again...

Terrified that the feeling won't go away..terrified that it does..

These are the times I wish I could push the button and go numb...

I miss the games...I miss the days when even though everything was wrong..it all seemed right.

Somedays I wish I could forget every little detail I remember about you..But how could I forget..

Hating you would make this a lot easier...but I could never hate you..

And everytime I remember the letters it all comes rushing back..and there's nothing I can do about it.

All those feelings are bottled up inside...And I don't want to be here when they get out.

These days I hate dreaming..the past sneaks up on me..and I never want to wake up again.

And I still wish I had done something to keep what I cherished the most..

Most days I'm just numb...but there's always something that reminds me of you..and everything falls apart..

What hurts the most was being so close...

I hate that I was stupid enough to let go of what everyone is looking for..

Standing here wondering..if I will ever feel something new..

Wish I had the strength to put these feelings in a box and never had to deal with the hurt again...

There's nothing I can do...but I know..in the back of my mind..I keep wishing..

I always hoped that love was enough..

And everytime I walk pass you I can't stop my heart from beating faster..only for it to fall to my stomach when I snap back to the present..

Wish I could see the future..only to know how this story ends..

And I'm just waiting..waiting to see what happens in the end..doubting it'll be what I always wanted..

Nothing could replace those years..and nothing has ever come even close to the feelings I had..

I never want to feel that kind of love again..not when I still love something that's impossible for me to have..

Daughtry - No Surprise

(And I hope.. and I hope..)
I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I'm singing louder, I love how it sounds
'Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrappin' this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise.. I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed til today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

It came out like a river, once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever.. just pushing it down
It felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise.. I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed til today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to save
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God knows we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
Both wright and wrong, our memories
The whispering before we sleep,
Just one more thing that you can't keep

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The lovin' look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no..
as no surprise

If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this
It's easier to see the reason why

It's no surprise.. I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed til today
(Stayed til today)
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The lovin' look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
(And I hope.. and I hope.. and I hope.. and I hope.. and I hope..)

Just A Dream - Nelly

I was thinking bout her, thinking bout me
Thinking bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only Just A Dream
So I traveled back, down that road
Wish she'd come back, no one knows
I realize yeah, it was only Just A Dream

I was at the top and now its like I'm in the basement
Number one spot and now she find her a replacement
I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby
And now you ain't around baby I can't think
I should've put it down, should've got the ring
Cause I can still feel it in the air
See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair
My lover, my life, my shawty, my wife
She left me, I'm tied
Cause I knew that it just ain't right

I was thinking bout her, thinkin bout me
Thinking bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream
So I traveled back, down that road
Wish she'd come back, no one knows
I realize yeah, it was only just a dream

When I be riding man I swear I see her face at every turn
Tryna get my Usher on but I can't let it Burn
And I just hopes she know that she the only one I yearn for
More and more I miss her, when will I learn
Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby
Hey, she was so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm going through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm missing, wishing she'd pick up the phone
But she made the decision that she wanted to move on
Cause I was wrong

I was thinking bout her, thinking bout me
Thinking bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream
So I traveled back, down that road
Wish she'd come back, no one knows
I realize yeah, it was only just a dream

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
And now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
Said if you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
Now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything

I was thinking bout her, thinking bout me
Thinking bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream
So I traveled back, down that road
Wish she'd come back, no one knows
I realize yeah, it was only just a dream
