Lyrics

What does anybody know?
Where does it all go wrong?
What do you do when there's no
One to hear your songs

Maybe everything is planned
Not a lot that we can do
Maybe a list exists of
What we'll all go through

But it's all right
I think your finally getting light
Of how to keep from
Hurting the people who love you

And you'll be just fine
Although you won't be mine
It's almost like
Starting your whole life over again
Just always know you loved me way back when

It's better if I stay away
Your close but you're still so far
I'd rather remember you for
Who you were than who you are

We used to do most everything
Closer than hand and glove
How do you tell yourself you
Hate someone you know you love

But I miss your smile
And when you would stay a while
You only cry when you're dying inside
I know now
