I was counting    The good things about this city    The only good thing is you are not here    When you're around it    Makes it hard to be what I need to be    I was trying to breathe    I was dying to breathe    I was hoping I'd never    Have to write this song again    The kind of song that makes    You want to hang    Your headached - head    And I was hoping    That I would never fall in love again    'Cause that would be the end    Of everything (you're everything)    My parents fell in love    And all I got was life    And all I ever wanted    Was to not be alone    I've been wearing this new outfit called    "Quit while you're ahead"    Your smiles are the end    Your eyes are the end    I was hoping I'd never    Have to write this song again    The kind of song that makes    You want to hang    Your headached - head    And I was hoping    That I would never fall in love again    'Cause that would be the end    Of everything (you're everything)    Just hang your head    Just close you eyes    Just hide your heart    Hide your heart    I believe that when I'm gone    My love will live in song    This is not where I wanted to be    I wanted to be    I believe that when I'm gone    My love will live in song    This is not where I wanted to live    I wanted to live
