My eyes were blurry that I could not see him, and then the tears began to fall, and I could do nothing to stop them. I feel like the worst person ever really.

To be is all I gotta be And all that I see And all that I need this time To me the life you gave me The day you said goodnight When I opened my eyes after the first chorus, my eyes met with Jayler’s eyes and all I saw was this young man filled with this innocence.

making everyone look towards our table And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don'

That satisfaction he had.
