No One Imporant

<BGSOUND src="#" loop-infinite> It's finally here
The beginning of the end
The last, final crack in my heart
The sign that hope is dead.

Just when I could breathe
Could think it was getting better
A slam from out of the dark
Pushes me back down again.

A part of me is gone
A part I need for life
Has been snatched away again
That tiny last shred of hope.

I picked up the phone
I must have known
I put it back down
I walked away.

But I had made myself promise
I had to, for her
To keep love alive
And try to help her to cope.

I should have followed my instinct
I should have walked away
I should never have dialed
I should have tried to delay.

For somehow I knew
And I tried to avoid
Hearing that painful phrase
That turned my world upside down.

I am no longer mommy
I have lost that loving title
I am now Helen
And no one important.

Guns N' Roses

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
