I always thought I was living with an expiration date
But you taught me to live life before it was far too late
You opened my eyes to things you realized I lacked
But unfortunately you're too far gone to ever be brought back
Knowing you was like knowing an angel from the heavens above
And I never realized how your company was something I loved
I never realized how your laugh was a breathtaking , musical tune
And I loved you more than the night sky loves its full moon
But somewhere along the way, you took a left turn and I went right
Our paths collided but like bumper cars we drifted out of sight
In the wake of all these feelings, I never stopped and asked for your name
All that I knew back then is that I prayed you'd feel the same
We lost track of each other, and in a blink of an eye you were gone
And I promise you I tried with all my might to hold on
But it felt like waking up to check for a message that wasn't there
Like a bullet through my heart that left me gasping for air
I can't have you now because I lost you among the crowd
And I can't call you back - I exceeded the limit allowed
I can't even dream of you at night when I fall asleep
But I know that these memories are eternally mine to keep
Hating you is horrible but loving you is by far the worst
And at some point now I gotta put myself first
I'm can't keep holding on to a memory that's slipping away
And as you fade from my mind, my whole world turns to grey
