Scenery is nothing more than poetry.
Love is nothing more than chemicals.
'Cause fairy tales are just scribbled pages filled with happy endings and little white lies.
One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.


Did you get my text message early in the morning?
I couldn't bare to say it in person.
I've been pushing out all of the words,
But they find their way back inside my head.
I ignore the rumors spreading around,
'Cause I know they're a bunch of lies.
The people we thought who were our friends,
The one's who got us together are trying to break us up.
And I'm not buying what they're selling,
But we're not getting anywhere by arguing.
I've given this some deep thought,
And maybe it's best if we take a little break...
Neither of us are happy in this situation,
So why should we put ourselves through more pain?
It's best if we turn away,
Because I don't want to see you cry,
And I know you don't want to see the expression on my face.
I'm sorry it's come down to this,
I can assure you it wasn't my first choice.
But for your sake, our love,
I think it's best if we go our separate ways...
We haven't talked,
And it's been three weeks since I last heard from you.
I thought maybe we could retain a friendship through this somehow,
But I was wrong to think like that.
Even though I want to blame those people for me losing you,
Deep inside, my conscience tells me it's my fault.
My mind wonders off longing to find out where you've gone,
I'm assuming that you hate me for what I have said and done.
I was stupid and I didn't hesitate for a second,
To think about what I was doing, what I would be losing in the process.
I only did what I thought was best for the both of us,
But I forgot to ask for your opinion on our current problem.
And you can avoid me, hate me all you want,
But I know what I was doing, when I said "Let's take a break."
I was just trying to save us...
Neither of us are happy in this situation,
So why should we put ourselves through more pain?
It's best if we turn away,
Because I don't want to see you cry,
And I know you don't want to see the expression on my face.
I'm sorry it's come down to this,
I can assure you it wasn't my first choice.
But for your sake, our love,
I think it's best if we go our separate ways...
It's been two months since I've received a text message from you,
I would die for just a five minute phone conversation.
You took this serious when we split apart that night,
Because I haven't seen you since then, it feels like forever.
Are you still in this town?
Did you move away?
Am I your new worst enemy?
I swear we both should have gained from this,
But I'm here with a bleeding heart, calling out your name.
I'm so desperate for you to come back,
Why won't you answer me and tell me where you're at?
I made a mistake, that I regret,
But in all honesty, I was only trying to save us...
Neither of us are happy in this situation,
So why should we put ourselves through more pain?
It's best if we turn away,
Because I don't want to see you cry,
And I know you don't want to see the expression on my face.
I'm sorry it's come down to this,
I can assure you it wasn't my first choice.
Neither of us are happy in this situation,

It's best if we turn away,

I'm sorry it's come down to this,
I can assure you it wasn't my first choice.
But for your sake, our love,
I think it's best if we go our separate ways...


The author's comments:
I was wrong to believe their words, I knew they were lying but I bought their lies anyhow. I'm so sorry for telling you that we should take a break, because that break has been going for what seems like forever. You always were my love, my soul, my heart; You can't be replaced. Funny how five words can tear apart a relationship. I don't know where you've gone, but I promise I'll find you again someday. And you know how I am, I keep my promises. I've taken it you've gotten a new number, because I haven't heard from you in months. If you happened to save my number, it's still the same. I love you, and I always will.

This Song was written in inspiration from a girl I loved so much. I was a fool and bought into peer pressure, telling her "Let's take a little break." Obviously that "little break" is still going on. I can't do nothing now, it's as if she vanished from my life. But our memories are stored within my heart. I hope you enjoyed this song, it took me hours, but I got it finished. With all my heart and feelings poured into it, I'd like to say it is one of the best songs I've wrote to date. Hopefully you agree with me.

P.S. To the girl it was written for, if you ever stumble upon this website and read this, know it was written for you. I miss you and I love you.
