Half of My Life

City lights, October skies
 Were so much brighter in my eyes
 Because I loved you
 Because I loved you
 My teenage heart was quick to break
 You little boys don't know your strength
 But I forgave you
 I forgave you
 Well it's amazing how much
 Growing up can change
 But more amazing how much
 Of yesterday remains
 But you and I, we built it all
 The roof, the floor, and all four walls
 Where did it go wrong
 Was it ever right
 Before I say my last goodbye
 Better look me in the eye
 What happened to the you
 I thought I knew
 And whatever happened to
 half of my life?
 You had me at your beck and call
 I took your word, I took the fall
 Because I loved you
 You knew I loved you
 I said that feeling's not allowed
 The background noise, it got too loud
 I should have known that you...
 You would hear it too,
 and see right through me
 It's amazing how you warned me way back then
 How you feared what you'd become if you let the dark side win
 But you and I, we built it all
 The roof, the floor, and all four walls
 When did it go wrong
 Was it ever right
 To shove it back into my face
 Say I had to know my place
 And never ask for more
 Tell me what...
 What was my place for half of my life?
 "Just let it go," that's what they say
 'cause they don't know me like you knew me
 You knew my memory would
 Circle this old roundabout
 Forever "stuck in a moment that I can't get out of"
 That's what you meant to do
 And you're still "the demon I cling to"
 It's amazing how much growing up doesn't change
 And you and I, we had it all
 And this is where the curtain falls
 Where did I go wrong in thinking we were right
 Somewhere I had to draw the line
 And try to take back what was mine
 But you got my yesterdays, always
 Yeah, you still walked away with half of my life
 City lights, October skies
 will never be as bright
 As when I loved you.
