I was counting The good things about this city The only good thing is you are not here When you're around it Makes it hard to be what I need to be I was trying to breathe I was dying to breathe I was hoping I'd never Have to write this song again The kind of song that makes You want to hang Your headached - head And I was hoping That I would never fall in love again 'Cause that would be the end Of everything (you're everything) My parents fell in love And all I got was life And all I ever wanted Was to not be alone I've been wearing this new outfit called "Quit while you're ahead" Your smiles are the end Your eyes are the end I was hoping I'd never Have to write this song again The kind of song that makes You want to hang Your headached - head And I was hoping That I would never fall in love again 'Cause that would be the end Of everything (you're everything) Just hang your head Just close your eyes Just hide your heart Hide your heart I believe that when I'm gone My love will live in song This is not where I wanted to be I wanted to be And I believe that when I'm gone My love will live in song This is not the life I wanted to live I wanted to live I wanted to live
