You know me, I used to get caught up in everyday life,
Tried to make it through my day so I could sleep at night;
Tried to figure out my way through the maze
Of rights and wrongs, but like you used to say
Nothing feels like it's really worth it.
Forget perfect, I'm trying not to be worthless.
Since I last saw you I been looking for a purpose.
Well I met this kid who thought like I did,
He had a weird way of looking at it.
This is what he said:

Slip out the back before they know you were there
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares.
Cos you don't wanna be around when it all goes down,
Even heroes know when to be scared.
Slip out the back before they know you were there
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares.
Cos you don't wanna be around when it all goes down,
Even heroes know when to be scared.

I don't remember where I met him or remember his name
But he walked funny like he was just too big for his frame.
Just over five foot but he weighed a buck fifty
And what he said so seemed so right it stuck with me:
"Listen its like poker you can play your best,
But you got to know when to fold your cards and take a rest;
And know when to hold your cards and hold your breath
And hope that nobody else is stacking the deck, because
I don't need to tell you that life isn't fair, it doesn't care,
It arbitrarily cuts off your air, and like you I want someone to say its OKAY,
But in the truest parts of our hearts everybody's afraid.
We're just underappreciated and overwhelmed
Fighting so hard to hide our fear that were scaring ourselves.
You understand when I'm saying cause you always did,
But its different in the words of a cowardly kid.

I'm no hero, you remember how I was, you know,
All I ever did was worry, feeling out of control
To the point where everything is going end over end...
I'm spinning around in circles again.
This is where you come in,
All of this to explain to you why
I had to separate myself away from yesterday's life
Please remember this isn't how I hoped it would be
But I had to protect you from me.

Thats why I slipped out the back before you knew I was there.
I know you felt unprepared,
But every single time I was around I just bring you down
And I could tell that it was time to be scared.
Thats why I slipped out the back before you knew I was there
And I know the way I left wasn't fair;
I didn't want to be around just to bring you down.
I'm not a hero but don't think I didn't care.

"I just want you to know
That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through
And then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
That there's a day you'll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again" JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW Backstreet Boys

"I feel so much better now that you're gone forever. I tell myself that I don't miss you at all. I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now that you're gone forever" GONE FOREVER Three Days Grace

"Would you run if I told you I love you?
Would you run if I asked you to stay?
Would you cry if I said I have missed you?
Sorry is all i can say..." SORRY IS ALL I CAN SAY StageDolls

"You might casually spoken a wish out loud in your dream and then found yourself living in the middle of it" THE TENTH CIRCLE Jodi picoult

"I guess it's gonna have to hurt.
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I loved
To get to the other side.
I guess it's gonna break me down
Like falling when you try to fly.
It's sad, but sometimes moving on
With the rest of yor life starts with goodbye" STARTS WITH GOODBYE Carrie Underwood
