I took a chance like you said... and look where it got me.
I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
While you loved me
you said "have i ever given you a reason not to trust me..."
well, now you have
I'm out here on my own
Feeling lost and all alone
I'm mad that you were gone
All my friends are moving on
I'll miss you forever
I'll miss you always
Good bye is so hard
But I'll say it anyway
The silence after
this disaster
Can't keep my laughter from healing all my pain
Time stands still
Every time
You come to mind
Just like
It did that day
when you chose to walk away
i knew my gut knew more than you, that you were, after all, just a guy...
And it only hurts when I'm breathing
My heart only breaks when it's beating
My dreams only die when I'm dreaming
So, I hold my breath--to forget
I guess i was just being unrealistic and naive; dreams and promises are never meant to come true, only to feed that short-lived happiness.
See me through, see me through
This aching heart has come so far
To be with, see me through
With angel eyes, just look inside
At all this love I never want to lose
See me through
I guess i was right... we weren't on the same page. And now i'll know what it's like for a fear to come true. (i'm never right... why did it have to be THIS time)
I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been
So
Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me
Someday I'm gonna run across your mind
Don't worry, I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you
And on with my life
~i didn't want to lose you~

King Midas received a gift from the god Dionysus - the ability to turn whatever he touched into gold. It was a dream come true... the wealth was infinite.
It took him a while to realize, though, that his blessing was, as well, a curse. For when he took the hand of his daughter, whom he loved very much, she became a statue of pure gold.
Midas realized that the only possible way to live was to separate himself from those he loved, for their own good.
Although it's not part of the myth, the affected people's feelings were probably quite hurt. Not only did he inadvertently kill his daughter, he estranged himself from the rest of them. Probably... unless they realized that it wasn't out of malice.
Eventually, he was able to cure himself of his 'Midas touch'... but had this not been possible, who knows how the story would have ended.
