How Could I?

how could I give up
without the chance to live up
the dreams we used to share
and I’ve had my fair share of dreams
and I’ve been woken to too many screams
can’t let you fade
can’t let you get away
can’t give up the hope
that you might be coming back someday
you say ya still miss me
you say ya still love me
and I guess I really want to believe
you meant every word you said
that you would love me
until we both were dead
but I don’t feel like dying
anytime soon
when I can wish upon a million stars
and find magic within the moon
how can I make up
the promises made before our breakup
that I will love you forever
when every word I ever said was true
how could I ever give up on you?
why did you give up on me?
