Even though this isn't a great recording, I wanted to put something up on sound cloud before starting my mission... tomorrow! (I literally made it in like 15 minutes.. ahhh!) But check it out!

These are the original lyrics, though I sung it a little differently:

Verse One
The way it all played out like it did,
I never thought that we would quit
You were nothing less than perfect, nothing less than beautiful
with you I didn't have to try
to sort between the truth and the lies
and your smile was enough to keep my days so bright

and every little thing that you said
well I heard it first inside my head and
if that wasn't proof enough for me
then what was?
and as we faded into separate ways
there were many things I wanted to say
but a fire hot coal was on my tongue

Pre-Chorus
Well life gets hard
believe me I know
when you're struggling
to do it on your own.
And now that you're going
all I can do
is remember you
because I loved you more than ever

Chorus
But before you go 
there's something you should know
you were my everything.
And you say time will tell
that we're meant for someone else
But girl you were my everything.

Verse Two
They said a silly thing was all it was
But true love is as true love does
and we did all the little things we should have done
and I wouldn't take it back at all
cause its worth the wisdom for the fall
and I'm sorry now
but it made us who we are

Pre-Chorus
And life gets hard
believe me I know
when you're struggling
to do it on your own.
And now that you're going
all I can do
is remember you
because I loved you more than ever


Chorus
But before you go 
there's something you should know=
you were my everything.
And you say time will tell
that we're meant for someone else
But girl you were my everything.

Bridge
and when you were looking at me
and you were talking to me
it all seemed so complete

and why'd it hurt so bad?
man it was so sad
when I had to see you leave

and was it meant to be
that you met me?
I'll don't really know but I'm glad

and then you have to go
and so do I 
we had our chance, we had our time
no hope in this endeavor we've got different lives
and I won't forget that
no I won't even try

Chorus
But before you go,
there's something that you need to know
you were my everything
and someday time will tell
that we're both meant for someone else
but girl you were my every
I said girl you were my every
said girl you were my everything.
