where should I hide
my love.

while I'm dying for
you to notice me,

you said that it
better to be kept
inside

rather ruin the beauty
of what it is now.

Sometimes I feel a little bit lonely
A little bit like the moon on a starless night
Like an owl alone in it's tree
Sometimes I feel a little bit sad
I look at the moon, and it's frowning face
And I wonder, 'why are you sad?'
But other times, I feel happy
Happy like a bee on a sunflower
Happy like an apple on a summer tree
Happy like the scent of cookies freshly baked
Happy like the laughter of children
But mostly, I feel peaceful

I wish I could
t a k e  o f f
Leave my worries
b e h i n d
To somewhere we're all
k i n d
No break
d o w n s
No more
"c a l m  d o w n s"
Somewhere
f r e e
Somewhere I can be...
m e
Take off, calm down, somewhere free, only ups, no downs, only me.

You changed the color of my skies
From the darkest blue
To the light blue color of my eyes

I could finally see,
I knew who I wanted to be
You let the sunlight in,

I felt forgiven for my sins
Until you were ripped from my grasp
Then the clouds rolled back in

Goodnight, sweet dreams
Try to keep my mind at ease
Open my mind
Let everyone inside
Why, oh why
Can't I do anything right?

Welcome to the mad house,
Sad thoughts, so more like sad house
Be careful, don't get too close,
You feel the tremors down to your toes
The cold feeling
Sweeping over your body
Dark room, no light
Such a plight
Goodnight, sweet dreams
Please put my mind at ease
I don't know, random thoughts that occasionally come to mind when I should be asleep but can't seem to.

Both can ****
        The only difference is
                      Cigarettes shatter lungs
         She shatters everything

            I remembered the first moment
my lips pressed the filter
     as I lit it up breathed it all
                savored every smoke
       as if we covered up painful lies
        in a container of painkillers

The same way  
we used to pressed our lips
     sparked something between us
           savored every moment we had
    as if our love was a rose
               in a valley of tulips

I asked myself to love myself,
But the closest I got was far from that
I only learned to hate myself
The fear ate my insides,
The waves crashed against my brain
Washing away any good thoughts.
That seemed to flow in and out,
Like the tide pulling in, just to wash out.

You asked me to love myself,
I got closer than before,
I learned to love myself.
I learned my value and worth
I learned I can be lovely

You too, can be lovely
