I was counting 
The good things about this city 
The only good thing is you are not here 
When you're around it 
Makes it hard to be what I need to be 
I was trying to breathe 
I was dying to breathe 
I was hoping I'd never 
Have to write this song again 
The kind of song that makes 
You want to hang 
Your headached - head 
And I was hoping 
That I would never fall in love again 
'Cause that would be the end 
Of everything (you're everything) 
My parents fell in love 
And all I got was life 
And all I ever wanted 
Was to not be alone 
I've been wearing this new outfit called 
"Quit while you're ahead" 
Your smiles are the end 
Your eyes are the end 
I was hoping I'd never 
Have to write this song again 
The kind of song that makes 
You want to hang 
Your headached - head 
And I was hoping 
That I would never fall in love again 
'Cause that would be the end 
Of everything (you're everything) 
Just hang your head 
Just close you eyes 
Just hide your heart 
Hide your heart 
I believe that when I'm gone 
My love will live in song 
This is not where I wanted to be 
I wanted to be 
I believe that when I'm gone 
My love will live in song 
This is not where I wanted to live 
I wanted to live
