Excuses only satisfy those who make them. Said by my grandfather.


I'll be there for you,
These five words I swear to you;
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you,
I'll be there for you.

I wanna give you it all,
Winter, spring, summer and fall;
I want you to smile when youre happy,
Need you to confide when you're not;
I'd take a bullet just to see you smile,
I'd run a million miles to stop one tear,
Talk to you for days to stop one fear;
Can't you see you're worth it all?
You're my downfall, the one to see me lose it all;
But you don't care because I can't tell you.
They don;t care because I can't show them,
Can't show them my last breath, my biggest regret..

Listen to your heart I say,
Sound like a broken record day by day,
Wait until it falls off the counter,
Smashes to the ground, good intentions shatter all around.
Pick it up piece by piece, don't let anyone see you've fallen apart,
All I really need is to watch you stand tall, watch you show them all.

In the darkness I wanna see your light,
You'll get the gold medal when challenged to fight,
And I'll be right there to help you into the light.
When it's time I'll fade back, I'll stay in your past;
Won't put up a fight, one day you'll need me back;
But will I feel forgotten? Midtreated? Beaten down and defeated?
It doesn't matter because I'll drop it all,
Forget everything, I can't just watch you fall so just..

Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On ..

Known you less than a year and I can see through to the fears;
Seen the saddness in your eyes, the tears welling up inside.
Saw you laugh and feel so high but what broke my heart?
Seeing the saddness in your eyes.
You inspire me, make me wanna live out what's in my heart, my dreams.
I feel so cold when you're not around,
Fell like im falling through the ground;
A cold heart tearing through my chest,
Begging to get out because there's just nothing left;
I see your face, see you smile and it all comes rushing back.
I want to be more.

If I drop it all, let it fall,
Will they hate me for eternity, never trust me again?
I've put them before me for so long,
I don't know what to do, who to tell
Stuck in this whirlpool of self doubt.
Yet I drop it all to see you succeed,
Take the blame for things not at fault by me.
