You've been go

weather
            
Your guard is

Because the la

These days, I 

haven't been s

leeping

Staying up pla

ying back myse

lf leaving
            
When your birt

              
hday passed, a

            
nd I didn't ca

ll
        
And I think ab

out summer all

 the beautiful

 times
  
I watched you 

laughing from 

the passenger 

side and
            
Realized I lov

              
ed you in the 


fall
            
And then the c

             
old came, and 

              
dark days when

 
 fear crept in

to my mind
            
You gave me al

              
l your love an

             
d all I gave y

       
ou was goodbye
   
So this is me 

swallowing my 

pride 
             
Standing in fr

The first time

Maybe this is
