A Year From Now - Across Five Aprils

Complete and total adoration

My gift to you, my heart was yours

In ten weeks you shaped it

In one night you murdered it

Torn from my chest and laid at your feet

That first step you took was the worst

Since then you’ve walked a thousand miles in solace and short remark

And I still have these memories

But we’ll never see what we could have been

Remember when we talked about where we’d be a year from now?

Remember when you held my hand like you’d never let it go?

Remember, cause that’s all you can do

We’ll never make another memory

We’ll never make another memory

I wish I’d have died in your arms the last time we were together

So I wouldn’t have to wake without you today

This time I thought things were real

You said they were

What happened?

You were a priority

Was I an option?

I let you see a side of me that I don’t share with anyone

Promises are just words unless they are fulfilled

Knew from the beginning all I had to offer you was my heart

I’m sorry that it wasn’t enough

So, we’ll go our own ways

And hopefully you’ll remember the things I’ve told you

Hopefully you’ll understand that everything I said was in sincerity

A broken heart is not what I wanted from this

But I guess I’ve learned from it

But aren’t you supposed to learn from your mistakes?

I don’t consider this a mistake

I just wish the story didn’t end this way

Cause I’m still in love with the person who helped me write it

Remember when you held my hand like you’d never let it go?

Remember when we talked about where we’d be a year from now?
