Please Don't

If I could smile I would.
I know you would smile if you could.
Have we taken it all for granted?
We use to be so grateful.
Now we're left here empty handed.
We use to be happy and free.
Its killing us can't you see?

This is not who we are.
It has taken us from what we were.
Can you smile for me now?
I don't want to forget the times.
Will they ever smile again?
Like they did back before?
We have forgotten about innocence.

Will this ever get better?
Can we just pretend?
At least until the very end,
Please don't tell me I'm perfect.
Don't say you love me.
It make it’s even harder you see.
I'm leaving all that know behind me now.

Will it ever be the same?
Will I ever forget your name?
Don't tell me it will get better.
Don't say I will be fine.
Have I crossed the line?
Don't tell me its okay.
I'll be back some day.

I have lost all my hope.
I am now this fake,
don’t say it an easy mistake to make.
Please don't cry now.
We might just make it somehow.
She says we can call,
but I know that won't help at all.

I know we won't speak.
We will stay the way we are now.
With awkward silence and fake smiles,
I know she doesn't understand.
Please don't take me by the hand.
I know I'm leaving, I can't change that.
Please don't tell me of better days.

Stay with me until the eve,
It might make it easier for me to leave.
