Please, smile and be happy

We were meant to live for so much more
But today we lost sight of what's ahead
I know I could've been a better person
I could've made you happier
If you'd given me a second chance to be your friend
If you'd only looked at me a second time
What happened to the goodstuff in the middle of our lives
What happened to the time we spent together
We were meant to live for so much more
But I lost sight of what's ahead
I screwed up,
Or maybe we just don't fit together anymore
I don't know how to go on without the person who saved my life
But I'd rather see you smiling
With another friend beside you
Then being by my side
And making me happy
While you look so miserable
You were meant to live for so much more
And I grant you that
Without me you can live a life of laughter and happy times
But please don't forget me
I don't think I can take that
I'd rather not exist anymore
Because our short friendship
Was the longest and purest I ever had
In my mind it will never be forgotten
I'll live the rest of my life
With my eyes half closed
Hoping, hoping
To open my eyes all the way
And see you standing there
Smiling with the light you were always meant to live for
