If It All Goes To Hell

I've been lying here
Letting thoughts fly around my mind
For hours after we'd decided it was settled
That we were still we instead of he and she
And I've made a decision on my own
One you'll never know anything about
That will be pulsing in my every move
From here until the end
I will always love you
Without regret
Because you've sculpted me
Into a person I could finally love myself
I will never hate the strength you gave me
To fly halfway around the world
To get what I wanted most of all
Even if what I wanted was you
I will not lose the lesson you taught
That the only way to receive honesty
Was to start being honest with myself
And then hope for the best with others
And I won't hold it against you
That you pushed me to go after my dreams
Moving halfway across the country
Instead of selfishly to you
And of course, I'll cherish
The nights you held me in your arms
All night long without fail
Though they'd grown numb hours ago
No, I will not regret the things
You brought into my life
And I'll still be cheering on Liverpool
If it all goes to Hell
