I don't believe in fairytales
Or at least that was the case
As much as I had hoped my wildest thoughts could come alive
I knew that it could never be that way
Here comes the sun singing out loud
And I felt a way I hadn't felt before
A friend of mine, eager and standing at my door
Take my hand you say, and let's go do it all
We flew away
Far away and yes we went and saw the world
We faced our fears and found ourselves in doing so
You made me smile, and how wide?
Only you and I know
The same way
That what goes up comes down
All things beautiful soon meet the same fate
And as our time runs out
Just know that what we had can't be replaced
Just know that you will always have a place
But all good things must come to an end
And as sad as it is I've loved my time with you my friend
And we both know we'll never be the same again
And forever I am changed
By the memories that remain
Through you
I learned what it truly means to be alive
We were reckless teens and adults at the same time
And I did it all with you by my side
(By my side)
And that was the best part
(By my side)
Shared secrets and we shared our stories
Shared passions and our dreams through the night
Even now I feel that moment
When I knew for sure that I'd be fine, yeah
Even now I feel that moment
When I wished that I could slow down time
And breathe it all in
And the same way
That what goes up comes down
All things beautiful soon meet the same fate
But I'm not worried at all
Cuz I know I won't forget your name
How could I forget how you inspired me in every way?
Because all good things must come to an end
And as sad as it is I've loved my time with you my friend
And we both know we'll never be the same again
But forever I am changed
By the memories that remain
If I could do it all again
I'd be sure to hold you tighter
If I could do it all again
I'd love to see your smile just one more time, yeah
If I could do it all again
I'd be sure to hold you tighter
I hope to see you soon my friend, yeah
Because of you I am stronger
And all good things must come to an end
And as sad as it is I've loved my time with you my friend
And we both know we'll never be the same again, no
And forever I am changed
By the memories that remain
