Girl's Not Grey - AFI

(There's a long way from a gentleman through the night sky) (There's a long way from a simple girl to a house wife) (There's a big difference from reaching to the top and wanting to get by) (There's big difference in walking on earth and running in life) I only got you in my stories and you know I tell them right I remember you and I, when I'm awake at night So give it up for fallen glory, I never got to say goodbye I wish I could ask for just a bit more time Every step I take, you used to lead the way Now I'm terrified to face it on my own You're not there To celebrate the man that you made You're not there To share in my success and mistakes Is it fair? You'll never know the person I'll be You're not there with me Though I know that you're not there, I still write you all these songs It's like you got the right to know what's going on As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound At times I still think I can spot you in the crowd Every step I take, you used to lead the way And now I'm terrified to face it on my own You're not there To celebrate the man that you made You're not there To share in my success and mistakes Is it fair? You'll never know the person I'll be You're not there with me Time can heal your wounds if you're strong and standing tall I've been doing all of that, it didn't help at all They say, "You'll grow older, and it'll get better still" Yes, I will, but no, it won't They don't get it, 'cause You're not there To celebrate the man that you made You're not there To share in my success and mistakes Is it fair? You'll never know the person I'll be You're not there with me

In a way, it's all a matter of time I will not worry for you, you'll be just fine Take my thoughts with you and when you look behind You will surely see a face that you recognize You're not alone I'll wait 'til the end of time Open your mind Surely it's plain to see You're not alone I'll wait 'til the end of time for you Open your mind Surely there's time to be with me You're not alone I'll wait 'til the end of time Open your mind Surely it's plain to see It is the distance that makes life a little hard Two minds that oncе were close, now so many milеs apart I will not falter though, I'll hold on 'til you're home Safely back where you belong and see how our love has grown You're not alone I'll wait 'til the end of time Open your mind Surely it's plain to see You're not alone I'll wait 'til the end of time for you Open your mind Surely there's time to be with me You're not alone Open your mind You're not alone I'll wait 'til the end of time Open your mind Surely it's plain to see

I'll turn you on and switch you right off. I'll make sure you like what you see. Forget all that you once believed. Now you will believe in me. Do you believe you make the choice, Decide what you hold most dear? In all opinions that you voice, It's my voice that they all hear. I'll take your ideas and your values, I'll make you turn them all around. I'll break your individuality, I'll take you down. I'll seal shut your open eyes. I'll give you a taste on the bland. Intoxicate you, take me in. You'll never feel the touch of my hand. I'll take you ideas and your values, I'll make you turn them all around. I'll break your individuality, I'll take you down. I'll turn you on and switch you right off. I'll soothe your troubled mind. You'll never have to think again, It's just a matter of lost time. I'll take you ideas and your values, I'll make you turn them all around. I'll break your individuality, I'll take you down.
