For You

Hurricanes in December

Snow in July

This is what it feels like

Certain impossibilities

Stored in crazy dreams

Locked away in a reality

Where It'd never exist

Who would have thought

It'd end up like this

I know I didn't

I always wished

We'd be together

Instead of at a distance



I don't know where I'm goin

But I'm goin places

Maybe not at the top

But I'll make a name for myself

I'll make someone proud

And put a tear of joy in their eye

Disaster. For You.

Is somewhere near by

I can't fall back for you

So I'll leave you behind



Call me selfish, call me cruel

I've sacrificed enough for you

I was crazy enough to come back for you

I even ignored love for you

I can no longer belittle myself for you

Stay in bed with covers up to your head

I don't mind

As long as I'm free to fly

But we promised to die

In adjacent beds

At a ripe old age

Smilin like the very first day

We said we'd reach new heights together

I never thought I'd prosper alone

The dreams I once locked away

Are telling me to go on my own



So bring on the snow

And the hurricanes

This is the day I've been waiting for

I'm sorry things turned out this way

But I can't stand at your side anymore

So when I say goodbye

For the very first time

Don't be surprised if I leave you behind
