Wasn't it easy to walk
away from you when
all I can do is think about
all the crimes I did in
my past?

Dreams come and go,
and I try to do things
a little different if
I had a second chance
to spare in life.

Wouldn't it be grand
if I could just take
a step back to say
the right things in life,
but all is said and done.

All I can do is accept
that your not in my life,
and I'm the villian in this
pointless play.

I'm the one dressed in black,
and I'm the one who doesn't
conform to any of the norms
in the ludicrious ideals of
fitting in cliques and groups.

I'm the odd man out in
a group of the living in
this world of worlds.
I'm the one without the girl,
and I'm the one with only
hopes of finding redemption.

A redemption that I passed up,
and I had two years of my life
to swallow my pride to redeem you,
but your gone and I'm gone.

So in the end I'm lost,
and maybe time will be gone
when I'm old and gray.
I'll forget, but remember
the friendship I had.

So I'll die hopefully soon
with empty hopes and empty
loves you'll never notice me
for now.
