That Kiss

How shall I begin?
When the end is where we're always heading
How can I explain how we got here?
She was never loud, she is not a hero or a saviour
She was just a girl, the kindest one
CHORUS:
Now you're gone, and I'm still here
Trying to make sense out of this
And I'm so sure
That there's absolutely nothing on this planet that prepares you for this
How did I ignore?
The truth was written clear as an explosion
Now we're out of time, and out of luck
She always brave, she was always loyal and a fighter
Never backing down, for anything
CHORUS 2:
Now you're gone, and I'm still here
Trying to make sense out of this
And I'm so sure
That there's absolutely nothing on this planet that compares to that kiss
BRIDGE:
"Hello again" but for the last time
I'm quiet but confident cause it keeps you alive
And in the end, the memory you left
Is like a fire in my chest and I will keep it alight

You were so strong but not quite enough
Carried the weight, of ordinary love
Never have your love to cling to
Never get to say "I need you"
Never got the chance to tell you
CHORUS:
Do you believe in destiny?
Well I don't now, no not now
Do you believe in destiny
Not one without, without you
I was so close but not close enough
Comprehending just what was done
Throw me like a rock in the ocean
Shake me with the waves of emotion
Lose me in a crowd of commotion
BRIDGE:
It's not enough to say goodbye
I'm looking for a reason why
The brightest lights must case to shine
I'm gonna earn your sacrifice
Never gonna say goodbye
I'm looking for a reason why
The brightest lights must case to shine
I'm gonna earn your sacrifice
Was I naive to just believe that good could win despite you?
You helped me see the strength in me
I won't forget, about you

When you let yourself down, I can pick you back up
Show you how to improve, when you're down on your luck
When you let yourself down, you never could let me down
If it helps you at all, I will stand by your side
Better practice what I preach, better swallow my pride
Better practice what I preach, better practice what I preach
Take a breath, and just let it all out
No reason to be coy, but you just need to hear me out
From way up here, you always feel like you're on show
On this pedestal of stone, always feel like you're alone in this
CHORUS:
I just want you to know
You don't have to be strong
You don't have to be brave
Cause you've always belonged
I just need you to know
I will be there for you
I guess I owe you the truth
When you talk yourself down, we can stay on the roof
We don't need to go to bed, got nothing to prove
When you talk yourself down, you're really hurting me now
If it makes you okay, you can dress up in heels
We can go to the dance, and we can see how that feels
If it makes you okay, now we're both in the way
CHORUS 2:
I just want you to know
You don't have to be strong
You don't have to be brave
Cause you've always belonged
I just need you to know
I will be there for you
It's time that you knew the truth
It's time that you knew the truth
"Hello again" (repeat)
OUTRO:
So I'd lay down, let you walk over me
Yeah I'd lay down, cause you'd do it for me
I know you'd do it for me
You'd do it for me
COUNTER OUTRO:
"Hello again" but for the last time
I'm quiet but confident cause it keeps you alive
And in the end, the memory you left
Is like a fire in my chest and I will keep it alight

A Good Thing, Wrecked

We had a good thing, yeah we had a good thing
They had to mess it all up, they couldn't let us win
So quick a good thing can be come a bad thing
Yeah
We had a good thing, yeah it was a good thing
We couldn't figure it out, we were like tangled string
We had a good thing soon became a gone thing, yeah
And I'm tired of wasted days
Trying to crawl from this lonely space
I'm gonna make it before I cave
And before I fade to yesterday again
COUNTER:
Wasted days
The mess they made
CHORUS:
And though my heart is breaking (in the end)
Something inside is waking (more than friends)
Again, again we won't slow down until we can bring you back somehow
And now and then these memories can help us bring you back to me
So were so close, we couldn't get a grip
On just exactly how close we were both gonna get
But we were so close, now you're more like a ghost
Yeah, yeah
This is not what I had hoped for when I lied to sneak into this school
This is not what I had hoped for when I lied to sneak into this school
I miss your red hair, and the way that you care
You'd always put yourself out
Cause you were so fair
And now you're not here
Courage in me disappears
Cause now you're not here (now you're not here)
BRIDGE:
I used to say we'd make it, I'd hoped we'd find a way out
I used to think we'd make it, I'd hoped we'd find a way out
Again, again we won't slow down
Again!
We had a good thing
We had a good thing
Now it's over
I'm gonna find 'em, gonna make 'em pay
