I am trying to do something great
And you may never forgive me
I was trying to leave you a myth
But now I'm taking it with me
Once wrote a poem about you and me
Called "The Longest Night in History"
I we trying to do something great

You can certainly learn a lot
By watching someone lose something
I've been doing my share on both ends
So can I somehow be helpful?
Dress me up in a pageant sash
Reads "Cautionary Tale", I'll read to the class
You can certainly learn a lot
By watching someone lose something

So just hold on
Don't freak out
Easier said than done
Without a doubt
Just hold on
Don't self-destruct
If you think this is gonna be easy
Well, you're shit out of luck

You know that I love you
You left to see if the darkness above
Was tied to the two of us together
Would we both find sunnier skies
If we said goodbye forever?
Couldn't believe how bad it hurt
Screamin' at the devil, "Hey, come do your worst!"
And it took so long to realize
It could be a permanent sever

But I held on
Stared down the night
When I couldn't bare another second along came a light
I followed it to
A place where I could start again
Though, everyone here seems to know my smile's pretend
I remember you loved me

Now I know you've had your own travails
And this is just one half of the tale
So if you sing it
I will listen
But you gotta keep your end of the deal:
*Tell the truth even when it lacks appeal.*

You were trying to do something great
And I may never forgive you
Two new neighborhoods side by side
In the Broken-Heart district
I see you walkin' late at night
Weepin willows, old starlight
We keep trying to do something great

Well, hello old love
I've seen you around
Everybody starts out as a stranger in this town
Would you stop by for tea?
See what I done with the place?
It's just nice to be around your familiar face

You know that I love you
I know that you love me
It's so nice to meet you
So nice to meet you
