Let me rest
Let my body rest
Im tired of doing
Let my emotions rest
I'm tired of feeling
Let my spirit rest
I'm tired of having faith
I'm tired of bieng

I don't want to be perfect
Stop trying to make me perfect
I'm talking to me
Yes, me
I'm tired of you
Let me rest

Me
look at me
only me
see me
only me
feel me
only me

I have alot to say to you
to feel for you
to do to you
to love you

your smile
your eyes
your truth
your feelings
your love
can they be mine
all mine
I'm selfish
but with you I can not
how can you be selfish with something that's not mine
your not mine
so inside I die

Can you hear
the storm brewing in me
not to bring havoc
but to wash a way your pain

listen to the song that plays in my heart
to the lyrics that convey what I need to say
the melody that keeps me sane

tell me you can hear the cries of my brain
for it's advocating for the pain
that can be felt by my heart as it yearns
yearns for what it can never have

because your ears a closed

Because even though I'm surrounded by
stars you're the closest to me
 There are millions around me            
but is only you that i feel                      
Your beauty is so magnificent that it hurts to look at you

 If I get close too                                         
I'm afraid you'll cause me harm            
You are far
 but it feels like you're near
I was made to need you but you don't even know I exist
Or do you?

Do you know I exist?
Do you know my name?
My age?
My nickname?
Do you know I love you?

I'm just fooling myself because at the end of the day I'm insignificant to you
You are surrounded by beautiful things and here I am begging for your attention my sun

— The End —
