I trust you
but personally
I have a hard time
trusting the
rest of the world

Like you view your sister
I have a hard time
realizing that
you have grown up
before my eyes
even more than I have
but I still
see you
as the innocent
little kid
that I first met
and it's crazy
how fast you have changed
into the young man
you are today

I don't trust
the rest of the world
with your heart

But I trust you with mine
and I hope that's enough

What a simple word to say
much harder to prove

I could go back
to every smile

I could go back
to every laugh

I could go back
to every touch

I could go back
to every look

But I don't wanna go there anymore.
Spin off of "Come In With The Rain" by T.S.
All is bittersweet.
Everything
Has consequences...

...So watch your steps.

Don't you worry
I can get rid of those tears instantly
I can plaster a smile on my face
In the blink of an eye

But what I can't do
Is feel
Because after all these times
My emotions
Just don't work well anymore

So I pretend to feel
A rainbow of emotions
Especially now when I need them most
But all I can feel
Is dead inside
This is kinda depressing but also kinda true

the only time i will ever be thankful for that old friend
whose birthday i was waiting for
because that way
i was awake
when we finally said what we had been dying to say
for three years
i love you
