day sixteen: a song that makes me cry (or nearly)

A song that makes me cry (or nearly)...
Lately it is If It Means A Lot To You by A Day To Remember.
Because "we knew it'd happen eventually."
But mostly because you're leaving, and I really don't want you to, and who knows if we're exclusive, and I have to talk to you about that, and I'm nervous that you're going to go away and meet someone so amazing that you'll just forget about me, and I'm sad that I'm going to miss you so fucking much.
This song encapsulates that completely.

Hey darling. I hope you're good tonight.
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving.
Yeah, I want it, but no, I don't need it.
Tell me something sweet to get me by.
'Cause I can't come back home til they're singin'
La, la la la, la la la.
Til everyone is singin'.
If you can wait til I get home,
Then I swear to you that we can make this last.
(La la la)
If you can wait til I get home,
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in the past.
It might be for the best.
Hey sweetie, I need you here tonight.
And I know that you don't wanna be leaving.
Yeah, you want it but I can't help it.
I just feel complete when you're by my side.
But I know you can't come home til they're singin'
La, la la la, la la la.
Til everyone is singin'.
La, la la la, la la la.
If you can wait til I get home,
Then I swear to you that we can make this last.
(La la la)
If you can wait til I get home,
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past.
It might for the best.
You know you can't give me what I need.
And even though you mean so much to me,
I can wait through everything.
(Is this really happening?)
I swear I'll never be happy again.
And don't you dare say we can just be friends.
I'm not some boy that you can sway.
We knew it'd happen eventually.
La, la la la, la la la.
Now everbody's singin'
La, la la la, la la la.
Now everybody's singin'
(If you can wait til I get home)
La, la la la, la la la.
Now everybody's singin'
(Then I swear we can make this last)
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'.
If you can wait til I get home,
Then I swear we can make this last.
