Anything

You'd do anything just to keep them around,

And you'd say anything just to hear them make a sound,

You'd like to think this feeling is true,

You'd like to think they love you back,

But the feeling is so fragile,

But the feeling is so weak,

But the feeling is so real...

You tell them that you love them,

You try to hold them in your arms,

But it breaks your heart to see them walking away,

And you tell them

You'd do anything just to keep them around...

But they turn away without making a sound,

You'd do anything...

Anything...

You'd sacrifice your weekend just to walk to their house,

And you'd ditch your friends just to take them out,

You lie to your parents,

You say you're not with them,

And they don't find out,

But still you pretend,

That everything will be alright,

That everything will be okay

If you ask them to stay with you just for one more day...

You tell them that you love them,

You try to hold them in your arms,

But it breaks your heart to see them walking away,

And you tell them

You'd do anything just to keep them around...

But they turn away without making a sound,

You'd do anything,

Anything...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

4/30/05..I woke up around 9 am that morning and just scribbled this down. Sometimes I'll wake up singing words to myself and when I write them down, it becomes a lyrical poem, and that's exactly what this was. If you heard the rhythm to it, it would make a lot more sense.
