Be With Me {Don't Remain Mere Memories}

We spent so many years together.
I thought things could not get better.
But now the tide has turned.
The time to cry has now returned.

‘Cause now I finally have to leave.
For all these years, I have deceived.
I made you all think I was fine.
When inside I’d crossed the line.

I was broken and you never knew
Just how much I hid from you.
I was hurting, but I didn’t tell.
No one knew how hard I fell.

Until one day was just too much
I fell under the lies and such.
Too much time and too much pain
Made ev’ry day feel cold like rain.

I had no choice but to let it out.
I couldn’t sit around and pout.
I told my mother ev’rything
About all the lies and hurting.

She’s pulling me far from you all.
Protecting me so I won’t fall.
But even through these years of rain,
It’s all of you who eased my pain.

I wanted to be right with you.
In everything, both old and new.
But now this is the end of it,
I guess I really didn’t fit.

But with my friends and foes that school
Had started to seem kinda cool.
Why didn’t I see it before?
I couldn’t ask for any more.

But I know my choice is made.
Now’s not the time for me to cave.
I have to say goodbye to you.
And move along to something new.

You’re in my heart, you’re in my head.
I’ll dream of you when I’m in bed.
You were my friends, you are my friends.
Ours is a friendship that ne’er ends.
