"When I Knew You"

I never thought it would end up like this
I can hear you laughing, as I’m crying on my bed
I’ll tell you that I’m alright, even though you know I’m lying
Everything replays inside of my head.

The time you kissed me,
When you held me close to your body
I swear I couldn’t breathe
When you touched me, when you grabbed my hand
I lost composure with every word you said.

I’ll stay true to what I know
It’s so hard to let you go.
I need something else to get me by.

I’ll be here when your world falls to pieces
When the ground starts to crumble beneath your feet.
And if the pain ever ceases, I need some reassurance
That the memories you’ve stained me with will cease to exist.

The tears that I’ve shed for you still linger
Within each letter that I had never mailed to you.
I'll keep reading every line over and over
Wishing that there was something I could possibly do.

I’ll stay true to what I know
It’s so hard to let you go.
I need something else to get me by.

So let me know that you’ll be here
When I whisper, just tell me you’ll be there
When I see you in the dreams that change to nightmares.

So don’t hold back what you’re feeling
When the ceiling gets too high for you to reach
I’ll be the shoulders you can climb on
You know you can always count on me.
