What if love could never fade'
Our stomachs always kept the butterflies we had on our first date.
Then you'd have never slipped away.
What's now a cloudless empty sky would signify a brighter day.
How do you know when it's time to give in'
How do you know when it's time'

Hey, little one,
Here's to a moment of life in a year come and gone
I'll miss you my friend.
I'll learn to stand on my own 'til I find love again.
Here's to good times, little one.
Here's to goodbye, little one.
Here's to the year you were my little one.

Warmer weather eases pain
But you gave the coldest shoulder as you showed that seasons change.
Just a year ago today,
You'd brought hope for warmer winters; New York City last December paved the way.
How do you know when it's time to give in'
How do you know when it's time'

The time to overcome is well overdue.
Out with the old, independently new.
But I'd rather be depressed than happy without you
Oh God, please carry me through.

What if this was just a dream'
When I awakened from this nightmare you were lying next to me'
Things would change if that were true.
Rather than holding onto memories, I'd be holding onto you
