Thank you to my friend, Joy (@/whyiask on Tumblr), for letting me use some of the lines she thought up! Go check her out, he's a fantastic writer.
"What am I without you?"
"Yourself."
•••
Who am I meant to be
Without you next to me?
What am I without your guiding light
Without your shaking hands
That aren't shaking as much as mine
Lost my purpose, my direction
Without you, I have no goal, no destination
Who am I meant to be
Without you next to me?
With widened eyes
Stepping out of the spotlight time after time
But I couldn't see
The one stuck up in the spotlight was me
And you were back behind, always letting me shine
When the veil is pulled off
The mirror never lies
So much of me is all of you
You are more of me than I am of you
Who am I meant to be
Without you next to me?
•••
Who you are is what you'll do
Without me, you're just you
You hold pieces and parts of me
But I just can't see what you can see in me
I am shattered glass
Barely held together
And I know it won't last
So why don't you set yourself free?
The mirror is shrouded in smoke
Veiled in confusion
Both of us are just living in isolation
You're made of so many parts of me
But without me, you're free to be yourself
Who you are is what you'll do
Without me, you're just you
Oh, you always shone in the spotlight
It was like you were made for this part in life
And so I let you take the lead
And I let you fulfill your needs
While I stood by your side, out of the spotlight
Who you are is what you'll do
Without me, you're just you
•••
We're at checkmate, our final dawn
This isn't what we wanted, this isn't what we planned
I can't live without you, my darling friend
Listen, take my words to heart: you'll never be alone at all

Songs Of The SMP
Fanfiction"Down with the revolution, boys. It was never meant to be." Welcome to the songbook (or poembook, if you wish) of the SMP! This is a tribute not only to L'Manburg, but also to the people the fallen nation housed. I hope to do justice to their story...
