here's to you

I was on your porch that day
when the smoke sank into my skin;
so I went inside without you.

We talked all night
about everything we could imagine,
cause come morning I'll be gone.

And as my eyes start to close
I turn to let you know
that, 'I love you and don't want you to go.'

When you got sick, no one took care of you;
no love nursed you back to light.

But for me, I ran. I couldn't even look at you
for fear that I have to say goodbye.
And I will start to leave..

What's left to lose? You've done enough.
And if you fail, well then you fail but not to me.

Cause these last three years, I know
they've been hard, and now it's time
to get out of the cold and into the sun.
Even if it's alone.

Now here I sit,
all alone without my best friend,
as my thoughts bounce off a crappy guitar.

And that's the way it's been
almost ever since we met,
but now we've got something to prove.

And I can see your eyes;
they tell me something,
can they see mine?

What's left to lose? I've done enough.
And if I fail, then I fail but I gave it
a shot.

These last three years,
I know they've been hard,
but now it's time to get out of
the cold and into the sun.

Even if it's alone.
Even if it's alone.
Even if you're alone.
