lyrics

Well I climbed so high
But I fell so far
It was worth it
It was worth it

And I danced so fast
That I broke my ass
It was worth it
It was worth it

And I trusted all my friends
And you were my best friend

Outside my bedroom window the snowflakes fall
I remember when you told me we'd catch them all.
Each snowflake like a dream lost in a sea of white
It won't mean anything
Everything is lost in flames
There's nothing left for us to be

Your promises mean nothing to me
You're just a bad old scar or a ship lost at sea
I won't remember you or what we achieved
I keep my hands in my pockets and my heart on my sleeve

I'm not ready for you to come around
And your not ready to burn to the ground
You tried to say what you really meant to say
But all it did was to help me run away
I can't escape my fate
Now I'm seeing this so clearly
You never loved me
Lesson learned

Outside my bedroom window the snowflakes melt
I remember all the times that you gave me hell
You took everything, everything and kept it to yourself
So much for "Romeo and Juliet" when I'm with someone else
It gives you hell

Your promises mean nothing to me
You're just a bad old scar or a ship lost at sea
I won't remember you or what we achieved
I keep my hands in my pockets and my heart on my sleeve

I'm not ready for you to come around
And your not ready to burn to the ground
You tried to say what you really meant to say
But all it did was to help me run away
I can't escape my fate
Now I'm seeing this so clearly
You never loved me
Lesson learned

"And then the city fell from sight
I swear it never shined so bright
And everybody cried
We all cried"
But it was worth it for the last time...
