When the light turns red, I foolishly start moving my hands just like they do. "Tell me why are we so blind to see That the ones we hurt are you and me? Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise."

I'm dying to live. Something's gotta give. Pull me out of this sinking town. I'm dying to live.

"Mum, I know it may be a little too late, but I'm sorry for never making time for you and dad. I got selfishly caught up in my own life and just assumed you were both ok with that. I promise to make up for it" Merryn teared up " I know you are darling. But what's done is done and we can't change it. We just need to make up for it.

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'

I exhaled deeply again , Presley has invested so much to make this day happy for me , even Brett, and right now I want to get out of my own way , I don't want to ever stand in the way of my happiness again. That's why I'm giving Brett and I a chance , who knows where it'll take us. "Finally you're done " Presley said as I walked out of the bathroom. "The bathroom is the only Peaceful place I get to meditate and think " I replied as I dried my legs and body. "You take life too seriously " she said as I slowly took my seat in front of the mirror.

She didn’t notice him coming, and when he got closer, he heard her sing to herself, his own words suddenly oh so fitting. Break free from the life I’ve lived Something’s gotta give Before I take Another breath again I cannot take this anymore I will not accept anymore.

Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah Everything changed me You have given me something that I can't live without You mustn't underestimate that when you are in doubt But I don't want to carry on like everything is fine The longer we ignore it, the more we will fight Please, don't fall apart I can't face your breaking heart I'm trying to be brave Stop asking me to stay I can't love you in the dark It feels like we're oceans apart There is so much space between us Baby, we're already defeated Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah Everything changed me We're not the only ones, I don't regret a thing Every word I've said, you know I'll always mean It is the world to me that you are in my life B
