I have butterflies in my stomach
And my heart has taken an adrenaline shot.
My palms are slick and sweaty.
My breath is taken away
Cause you look beautiful today.

I think it's happening again
My defenses are dropping while hope soars
Think I am sick with a crush
Think I am sick with a crush

The doctor that I speak too gives me a week tops
I don't understand I thought I was
Going to live long enough
To at least have a child or two

Well a week later I conspireed it with you
And who knew that the doctor was right
As all my bones wither away
You walk away from me with a sick glee

Yeah and I am crushed
The sickness has came to me
And I am crushed.
My body is finally slowing down,
My eyes see heaven's sky,
When I am put to rest.
On the tombstone it says
Died because of a crush

Love makes us do funny things
Like how we made a secret code so to speak.

Love also hurts
Like when you threw the diamond ring back at me.

Love makes me sick sometimes
Where I can't move and I can't scream,
All I do is silently weep.

Love ******* love
What a *******
Love ******* love
I think I want another hit at it.
Love sweet ******* love

I think I am in a world of hurt
Only Seventeen
But I think the world has forgotten about me
They say to wait when your older
Everything will get better
But the more I look, the more everything hurts

Cause I see people that I used to know
Having fun and hanging out.
But what about me
Seems like they forgot about me

I look out of my window and watch the road
Turn red white and blue
The world goes so fast it overlaps me
Then I am forgotten, alone with my thoughts
Thinking that I am seventeen and the world already *****

Cause I see people that I used to know
Laughing and hangoing out
I try to be like them, but it hurts
Cause these aren't my clothes
The world is just too fast for me
It has overlapped me.

Seasons surely do change, but they're always the same.
While you just know how to run away, my sweet angel,
Never do come back, just know how to run.
Think I am a fool waiting for you to return?
What a funny thing.
You're probably on the next best thing.

Oh angel, why do you have to run away?
Stay here for a while, see the sunset on the horizon.
Don’t leave me here to die.
Oh, oh, I am not ready to walk on water.
Please hold my hand tonight.

Angel, don’t run away.
Angel, come back, I need you to stay.
Angel, don’t run away.

You're on my mind all the time,
Wondering if you're blessing another guy.
I try to forget you,
Just the smell of you still lingers on my sheets.
I loved you too deeply; if I knew you had to go,
I would gaze at you from afar like snow.
Then you would melt away, but instead of coming back,
You would just go.

Oh angel, why do you have to run away?
Stay here for a while, teach me how to fly.
Don’t leave me here to die.
Oh, I am not ready to walk on water.
Please hold my hand tonight.

Just light up my sky,
Be my guiding light
In this darkness that I can’t wade.

Angel, don’t run away.
Angel, come back, I need you to stay.
Angel, don’t run away.

My head is underwater, and I am starting to choke,
But you push me down further
Because you need to stay afloat.
Well, I’m drowning; can’t anyone help me?
NOPE.
It’s getting harder to breathe;
My vision is starting to become blurry.
All I want is some fresh air,
All you do is talk about how great it is up there.

Guess I will die this way,
Like the rest before me.
Die with the fishes, and another will take my place—
Chained just so you can keep your head afloat.
Just don’t forget that you would die too
If we didn’t keep you afloat.

— The End —
