We separate around the country. We don't even have contact. Having the feeling of disconnection. Not knowing someone in our family tree, That could be so close to me. Why can't we be connected. Be close with one another. Knowing where we're from, And get to know each other. Why can't we be together, And get to know each other. The family feels so small. But I know ("I know"), That there is family, That we never meet. We discuss quite regularly. It's really sad to know, That we are not all together. Why can't we be connected. Be close with one another. Knowing where we're from, And get to know each other. Why can't we be together, And get to know each other. I want my family to know each other. We could have a Skype reunion together. We could text, we could talk, And then have the family all together. Why can't we be connected. Be close with one another. Knowing where we're from, And get to know each other. Let's get to know, The people in our family.

I'll be there in times of trouble. From day one to forever, I'm never gonna leave your side. I've seen your achievement. I've seen your smile. I know you're brave, And we'll get through these hard times. I'll be there in times of trouble. When you need me most in these desperate times, I'll be by your side holding your very hand. We'll get through this, And come out the other side stronger than ever. I know sometimes it feels, Like there's no reason to live, And you think what's, The point of carrying on. Because family still loves you, Till the very end. I know times are tough, And the problems are building up, But there's only so much shit, That can drag you down. You're a fighter. You've fought through, Hard times before. These times make you stronger than ever before. I'll be there in times of trouble. When you need me most in these desperate times, I'll be by your side holding your very hand. We'll get through this, And come out the other side stronger than ever. I'll be there for the highs. I'll be there for the lows. I'll be there when you're all alone. I'll be there when you graduate school, Or even when you get kicked out. I'll be there for your first day of work. I'll be there for the last. I'll be there if you're happy. I'll be there when you're sad. I'll be there when someone dies, And your life's in pieces. I'll be there in times of trouble. When you need me most in these desperate times, I'll be by your side holding your very hand. We'll get through this, We'll get through this, And come out the other side stronger than ever. I'll be there in times of trouble. When you need me most in these desperate times, I'll be by your side holding your very hand. We'll get through this, We'll get through this, And come out the other side stronger than ever. I'll be there when you need me. I'll always be there for you.

The pain... The pain... The pain never goes away. The P-A-I-N ("Tears running"), The P-A-I-N ("Down my face"). The P-A-I-N ("Hiding away"), The P-A-I-N ("Scared of what I might face"). It gets worse every day. Don't worry it ain't physical, It's inside my body ready to go away. Lucky music is there for me, So I can hear the same song, Over and over. But at least music never goes away. I write songs and draw pictures, To get rid of the harsh reality. It will never go away. It'll always be part of a distant memory. But I can't be sad for long, Because that's just not me. Born to be happy, Just like you and me.

I see you every day, And I see you every night. I know you will be by my side. You're the last thing I see, Before I go to sleep. When I wake the light shines, Right through the window. I see you by my side, And know you've been there, All night just for me. With everything that exists. Everything you have. You're priceless, worth everything, And can't be replaced. Life won't be worth living without you. I know it takes a while, To find the right one. For us to be together, Now we're never apart. With everything that exists. Everything you have. You're priceless, worth everything, And can't be replaced. Life won't be worth living without you. Things I love, others hate, But my favourite feature of you, Is your smile. It lights up a city full of darkness. Brightens up the dull days. When you're happy, So am I. With everything that exists. Everything you have. You're priceless, worth everything, And can't be replaced. Life won't be worth living without you. With everything that exists. Everything you have. You're priceless, worth everything, And can't be replaced. Life won't be worth living without you. Without you, Life seems pointless facing another day.

I planned our whole life together, But we will never be together. Will I ever find love? Does it even exist, Or am I just a fool caught in the game. Do you need me, Like I need you. Do you love me, Like I love you. Cos' I need you here by my side. I want to spend every day, With you 'till I die. The question, With no answer. The gesture, With no word spoken. The thoughts that I'm thinking, Will never be heard. Do you need me, Like I need you. Do you love me, Like I love you. Cos' I need you here by my side. I want to spend every day, With you 'till I die. You're in my dream every night, But my reality is so out of sight. I just let it happen in my head. All the confusion, all the pain, Is the love. Do you need me, Like I need you. Do you love me, Like I love you. Cos' I need you here by my side. I want to spend every day, With you 'till I die. The prince should always be with the princess, And let the dream live on.

Nothing heals the pain, When someone passes on. They say we meet again, But a million years on. The thought, Of never seeing your face again. Until I'm dead and gone, At the entrance of the pearly gates. You may have rested your head, On the pillow for the last time. Taking your last breath of air, I know we meet again somewhere. The memories will always be in my mind, And it will remind me of your kind nature. Cleared out the room, Made the bed. Even though you never sleep in it, Throw out the tea that had gone cold. Collected up all the photographs of memories that had been made, Only to know we make a million more. No one's really ever gone, They just didn't get to say goodbye. I know you're looking down on me, To see what I become. I hope you're proud of me, I don't disappoint no one. Only get one chance to do this right. May be my last chance, To hold your hand tonight. You may have rested your head, On the pillow for the last time. Taking your last breath of air, I know we meet again somewhere. The memories will always be in my mind, And it will remind me of your kind nature. Life is one big mystery, That we're yet to discover.

Was it worth it, Crying all the time. I wasted a year and a half. I still don't know how you felt. When my feelings were layed out, I didn't get a chance. To see who you really were. Fuck knows how you felt. Waste of my time. Why did you even come into my life. Was it worth the wait, Or will I waste a lifetime, Waiting for love. Every day without you. Seems like a day already lost. You could've had the best, But you only want the worst. You lost. You feel like giving up. You lost all hope, Of greatness ever happening. Waste of my time. Why did you even come into my life. Was it worth the wait, Or will I waste a lifetime, Waiting for love. If it was like the Titanic, We'd freeze to death. At least I'd die with the one I love, Instead of dying alone. Give me the answer. Tell me the truth. Don't leave me wondering why. Don't start something, You couldn't complete. You meant more to me, Than I ever did. Waste of my time. Why did you even come into my life. Was it worth the wait, Or will I waste a lifetime, Waiting for love. Waste of my time. Why did you even come into my life. Was it worth the wait, Or will I waste a lifetime, Waiting for love. You've come into my life. You're too important, To give up now. My heart's broken, But still beating.
