Everyday he sent a little present Just to let me know how very much he cared Wrote a little love note with each present But to fall in love had me a little scared My poor worried heart was almost certain Shall I fall or shall I let it be? Then he sent a dozen yellow roses and That somehow just turned the trick for me Roses, roses, roses I thank all the roses that bloom in the spring Love is a wonderful thing The rest of my life, it will bring me Roses and roses and roses of love Love is a wonderful thing La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Roses, roses, roses I thank you for saying what we couldn't say Oh, what a wonderful way To tell me he loves me each day With roses and roses and roses of love

Ignorance is dangerous Depression is a sickness Not a weakness I'm done with goodbyes I won't lose you To their lack of understanding Outdated way of thinking This can't be ignored anymore No, I can't snap out of it Or grow out of it You really think I choose to be like this? That it's all just in my head So I should just get over it? ...Why didn't I think of that? Words can be deadly But I won't bury another friend Actions speak louder And this can't happen again I would do anything but I won't bury another friend I'm done with goodbyes I won't lose you To their lack of understanding Outdated way of thinking This can't be ignored anymore Showing your strength isn't hiding your pain It's having the courage to let someone in Don't confuse sickness as somebody's weakness That kind of ignorance is so dangerous

The icecaps are melting The plates have shifted Calendars counting down to our world ending... our world ending Are even prepared? Have we seen enough? Worried about our future... we're not even promised today We're not immortal but we're so sure about tomorrow My end of the world could be today And if that's the case... then I'm proud of the life I lived Proud of my family and the friends I've made Can you say the same? When I leave this place, I'll have a smile on my face Pockets empty but full of memories My friends and family are my legacy Leaving nothing behind... living for nothing is such a waste of time

This cycle... must never repeat This must end with me How could we know any different if this is all we've known? ...This cycle must end with me I am the product of a broken man The embodiment of empty dreams A reminder of what you'll never be I am revenge... I am empty like your bottles Am I just like my father? Well, I refuse... I refuse to be a monster I know I have the same weakness inside of me I also have the strength to control my own destiny This must end with me How could we know any different if this is all we've known? This cycle must end with me How could we know any different if this is all we've known? This cycle must end I choose to be... I choose to be... nothing like you You couldn't hold my hand because your hand held a bottle How am I supposed to be normal? How am I supposed to anything but angry at the world? Misguided hate that I knew all too well I had to learn to be a man on my own To not make your mistakes or share the pain I've known How could we know any different if this is all we've known? This cycle must end with me How could we know any different if this is all we've known? This cycle must end
