Kisses by the lake
the nights we'd lie awake
words whispered in my ear
this life was my every fear
the heart wrenching breakups
and the long awaited make ups
these things they seem so far away
but still i wonder what will happen today
-
i remember the times that you would leave
you never did know what it did to me
the sound of your truck starting scared me to death
when i ran to the driveway there was nothing Left
i would watch you drive till i couldn't see you anymore
then id walk up the steps to read the note on the door
i never believed what you said because i knew you lied
and when everyone was asleep i would cry
when you came back i didn't expect you to stay
because i knew you'd be leaving any day
-
i remember the houses every time we would move
packing up, leaving, nothing you said was true
i had good days and bad as the years went by
was pushed around and taunted, i was so shy
i had friends and lost them, the years changed, i did too
every new house was a struggle, it was hard to get through
i knew too much and was growing up too fast
i didn't know what to do when i knew nothing would last
i hid from myself and tried to be something i was not
i did stupid things and ignored the things i was taught
-
i remember when i knew i finally had to change
when we changed cities and things were not the same
i finally knew i had to make memories last
i knew that life was going by way too fast
i spent my year in Orillia like i knew i should
i lived like i wanted to, like i knew i would
i laughed and loved, cried and got hurt
had the time of my life, thru the best and the worst
i shared kisses in the moonlight and got talked to by the cops
walked three and half hours to see him and also got lost
i graduated with the best of friends and cried like never before
i watched my best friend leave forever and then i cried some more
i made friends that will last forever and memories that will last longer
i went thru things that broke me down and things that made me stronger
leaving all that behind was the hardest thing ever
but now i get to finally go back and make more memories to last forever
