do you remember that cold california night,
you held my hand and swore you'd never let go
i guess while i was counting stars,
you were hoping for a rainbow,
to come and change things in your mind

and i know
this time

this is for you,
the one that made me laugh and then you made me cry
this is for you,
the one who faded out and never said goodbye
this is for you

so close your eyes tonight,
and sleep in your bed alone
i've been holding this inside for longer than you've known
and it's unfortunate that everything i never said could have even got thru your head,
for once

this is for you,
the one that made me laugh,
and then you made me cry
this is for you,
the one that faded out and never said goodbye
this is for you,
the one that keeps me strong when i try to be weak
this is for me,
and everything i don't say,
because i always thought you'd see this is for you

i don't know you,
i don'ti can't hear you,
i won't i don't know you,
i don't
