Part 2: Everything

All tragedies begin
The cold has come to stay.
I'm lying here again
Willing the pain to go away.

Thunderstruck and empty
And chilling to the bone.
You'll all learn to resent me
For what I have become.

I only looked back for a second
But that seemed to be enough.
I've tried not to regret it
I'm still holding on to love.

I'm not alway hopeless
I'm not always wrong.
But I always have forgiveness
I had it all along.

And although I feel like dreaming
I'm staying awake.
And although I feel like screaming
The silence overtakes.

And while the world is spinning
I'm standing still.
But so far the world is winning
I fear it always will.

I'm still learning to get over it
The way people often do.
The pieces soon began to fit
I soon realized the truth.

And I can't begin to explain
How it ended up this way.
But there was always pain
In the game I'm trying to play.

I'm always standing in your darkness
Hiding from the spotlight.
And now I never can confess
What we know is right.

I just wish it would disappear
I wish it away.
I hold those memories near
They're all I have left anyways.

A priceless sentimental
An encouraging sorrowful sigh.
Lost all meaning when the lies fell
And then I understood why.

It only took a heartbeat
To create a heartbreak.
The facts converged and began to meet
With all of time to take.

So don't forget the objective
In a series of plans.
Just let me laugh, love, and live
While you're holding onto my hand.
