Eternal vigilance is the price for freedom,
it is the price to be cautious of someone but no one.
Told to be watchful but never suspicious,
keep closer to those who will only seek vengeance.
What do you see when you see me?
A good friend that fucked up?
A horrible friend that never truly cared?
A stranger that needs to give up?
A jerk that is too clingy?
A loser that you wanted to humor?
One, two, three
let me lay in bed and count.
four, five, six
the mistakes I've made with you.
seven, eight, nine
I would take them all back.
ten, eleven, twelve
each one just as bad as the last.
I am not a quitter,
I will not give up.
When the going gets tough,
I get tougher.
My love WILL NOT fade
just because it seems difficult or complicated.
My love is full, true, and unconditional.
I would be lying if I told you
I didn't cry that awkward day.
The day you decided
that I wasn't the one.
I've told you before,
and I won't go back on my word.
