 | I tried to be your hero, and help you when you fell,
To pick you up off of the snow, and fight away your foes.
I wanted to save you from this world, and the lies it had to give.
If I could only show you just a glimpse of what I see,
Of the beauty and the awesome wonder, of the smartest girl I know.
I wanted to do all of these things, and be there all the time,
But I had played at love already, and crashed and burned before.
So I withheld my feelings, and refused to fall in love,
For all the times I tried my way,
I only ended up hurt and embarrassed, among other things.
You see, I had always had a strong belief in the crazy things of love.
Of honesty, and faithfulness, and hope.
But what good are such beliefs in love,
When you’re the only one who believes in them?
What point is there to have such feelings
When you have no one with which to share them?
So I decided to be like the world, cold and insincere
‘The less you care, the more she will care’ they said.
Maybe, maybe, then you would like me,
And then I could taste just a glimpse of what they all are experiencing.
But now, it seems that even to be your friend, just to talk sometimes,
And to maybe get together every-now-and-then, is an inconceivable dream.
But… I want you to know, no matter what,
I will continue to care about you, and some day,
If you find that you have no more friends,
And everyone has betrayed you, just remember,
That I am still caring about you,
And know that there is nothing
Nothing that you or anyone can ever do to change that.
