As Lovers Go

And When You Flash Me That Sincere Smile
And Gaze At Me With Crystal Eyes Of Blue
My Heart Starts To Race From Self Control
It Shows Just How Much I'm Still Into You

I Laugh With The Empty Seat Next To Mine
Hold On To A Hand No Longer By My Side
Oh Dear Ghost, Why Do You Still Haunt Me?
There's No Corners Left Where I Can Hide

From This Soul, Cries Out A Plea To You
Please Tell Me Where We Went Wrong
Should I Never Know?
Maybe I Was The Only One Who Was Happy
Or Was It Hard For You To Pack Up And Go?

But You Made It Look So Easy
Like You Assumed My Heart Wouldn't Break
Surprise Surprise, How Wrong That Was
This Smile You See Is Actually So Fake

I Want To Scream "I Love You" In Your Face
Be Careful, I'm More Fragile Than You Know
So Don't Just Turn And Look The Other Way
All I Need To Hear Right Now Is One More
Of Those Sweet Thoughts You'd Always Say

If I Ever Get Another Chance
My World Will Be Yours To Complete Or Shatter
I'd Give You More Than Everything
To You, I Just Want To Truly Matter

You're My Escape From The Realities I Face
The Only One Who Has The Key
Can You Keep That Promise You Once Made,
The One Where You Said You Would Save Me?

So When I Flash You A Wavering Smile
And Gaze At You With Puffy Eyes Of Brown
Your Heart Should Race From Pain, Regret
Because Remember, You're The One Who Even Said:
"I'll Still Love You, No Matter What Goes Down"
