"What's the point of being in love? What's the point of being with someone you can't have? I know exactly how this will end but for some reason I can't help myself." - She Likes (Bittersweet Love) by Forever the Sickest Kids

ANYTHING
(Always the strong one, Marlene, never one for tears)
But you know
It will hurt her the most

You know
You can't change it
(He's still marrying Marlene)
He had his chance
To choose you
When he ranaway
(But he chose to staywithher, didn't he?)
You know how it will end
(But you stay anyway)
You want to tell him
"Forget it, it's over, I can't do this anymore, enough is enough,"
You want to tell him
"Go find Marlene instead,"
You want to tell him it's wrong
But then he's sweeping you into his arms and kissing you
"It can't be wrong if it feels so right" he says
(And you wonder, can it?)
So someday you'll tell him to
STOP
Someday you'll tell him to
Go find Marlene instead
Someday you'll tell him it's
WRONG
But for now
You'll remain inlovewith
