I tried so hard to cheer you up. To make everything okay. I spent day in day out loving you and helping you. And sometimes you would rise, sometimes you would fall.

I was there when you and I went to you first party in 4 months. We went together and just before that, Paige, I wrote this song for you.

I'll never give up on you. Don't give up on you either.

Paige knew she still loved him. Every sweet word of encouragement, every push, every kiss had strengthened her. Time and time again he was there, and she soon grew to the point where she couldn't live without him.

But that party was the mistake. Gulping, Paige closed her yes and pressed play for the seventh time, knowing this would be the last sing of happiness.

Knowing this was the last of the good times.

I love it when you just don't care
I love it when you dance like there's nobody there
So when it gets hard, don't be afraid
We don't care what them people say
I love it when you don't take no
I love it when you do what you want cause you just said so
Let them all go home, we out late
We don't care what them people say

We don't have to be ordinary
Make your best mistakes
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party
I'm telling you to take your shot it might be scary
Hearts are gonna break
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party

Together we can just let go
Pretending like there's no one else here that we know
Slow dance fall in love as the club track plays
We don't care what them people say

We don't have to be ordinary
Make your best mistakes
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party
I'm telling you to take your shot it might be scary
Hearts are gonna break
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party

Come out tonight, come out tonight
There's no one standing in your way
Come out tonight, come out tonight
We don't care what them people say
We don't care what them people say

We don't have to be ordinary
Make your best mistakes
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party
I'm telling you to take your shot it might be scary
Hearts are gonna break
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Life of the party
So don't let them keep you down
Oh you know you can't give up
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party

As soon as the last note was played out, Paige allowed herself to smile, before the hurt would take over and nothing else could be done.
