I won't let you down if I'm not around
and you will be free, and I will be myself
I won't fill your eyes with tears
I'd lose all my fears
but who would I be?
and would you recognize me?

You spend all your time waiting for that second chance
for a break that would make it ok
there's always some reason to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
it may be empty
oh ya weightless and maybe
we'll find some peace tonight...

Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain
You will not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb.

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

And the history books forgot about us
and the Bible didn't mention us, not even once

You were my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
but they're just old light
You're hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
told me that my hair was red
told me I was beautiful
and came into my bed
I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
He told me that I'd done alright
and kissed me 'til the morning light

Samson went back to bed
not much hair left on his head
he ate a slice of wonder bread
and went right back to bed
and we couldn't break the columns down
No, we couldn't destroy a single one
The history books forgot about us
The Bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first...

This is how it works:
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
and everyone must breathe until their dying breath
This is how it works:
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
then try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
and stick it into someone elses heart
pumping someone elses blood
and walking arm in arm
you hope it don't get hard
but even if it does
you'll just do it all again
On the radio you'll hear November Rain
That solos off alone, but it's a good refrain
You'll listen to it twice
'cause the DJ is asleep
...on the radio

So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now

Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:
You can still be with the Wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted

I know:
But I don't want it -
No - I can't want it
Anymore

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!

Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur:

I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
Come with me. Think of what we could
do, together.

Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
Dreams, the way we planned 'em
If we work in tandem:
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity

They'll never bring us down!
Well? Are you coming?

I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this

I hope it brings you bliss

I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend

I still see a future together.  I miss him like crazy already.  Did I make a mistake?  Is there time for fourth chances?  Probably not.  I'd be a disappointment to everyone around me.  Love sucks.  I just wish he could see what I needed from him before it was too late.  I feel like I've lost a piece of me.  My throat has a constant choking feeling.  My eyes are burning.  I cried myself to sleep last night.  No, I sobbed myself to sleep last night.  I feel like such a bitch.  My heart hurts.  I feel like I've just made a huge decision, and it might have been wrong.  I feel so guilty knowing I hurt him, when that's the last thing I wanted to do.  I just don't know.  Why is it that I can't seem to be happy.  When I'm with him we constantly fight, without him I'm miserable.  I feel like crap.  He said he wouldn't talk to me anymore, that he couldn't do it.  I wish he would, he is one of the few people I can talk to about anything.  He's one of my best friends.  He's gone.

Young Noah: Would you just stay with me?
Young Allie: Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we're already fightin'
Young Noah: Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
Young Allie: So what?
Young Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out.
Young Allie: What easy way? There is no easy way, no matter what I do, somebody gets hurt.
Young Noah: Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants? Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do YOU want? What do you WANT?
Young Allie: It's not that simple.

" I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you."
