Never be hurt by what I say or do
For if I had known, it would have been done for you
That is what pains me the most, you see
My living for life, and you living for me
My heart soars at the meet of a gaze
Smiles play through fractures in so many ways

This is all I will say here and now
If I had known what was meant, understood how
You'd always be first as we are the same
Without question or doubt, I will make that claim
Friendship, kinship, or hearts united
No matter now, it has all been slighted

Today I see there isn't much of what we knew of the world
The places we were and the people we shared them with
I'm looking at everything changing and holding onto a dream
So few clear and present reminders that make me catch my breath
Are you still with me sitting above the grass
As laughter flows like liquid through our lungs
A reminder of the short but cherished days we had
It hurts to know these things ended before they'd begun
This one thing I knew would never last
Or at least a thing I believed in as a teen
My arm wrapped gently around you as we smiled
I think of you fondly as a friend I haven't seen
I cherish this life, but I wonder what could have been

All I know is I don't know nothing
All the nothing I don't know
All I know is that I want just one thing
Nothing that anyone shows
Avoiding the color of angels
The pictures of memories past
I'm trying to cover the angles
But I wish that I'd only been asked
Some time that the moments behind me
The ones that we all should have known
As the evil mind-drumming can find me
That cover that I build then blown
