Wake me up
When this year is over
Or better take me back
To when I was not growing older
Dreaming of the days
That have yet to come
What it will be like in high school
What it will be like to be in love
Because now all I want
Is to be clueless again
To the pain of getting old
And the depression gained
By wanting  to be thin
Let me travel back
To when I was unaware
Of the stress of paying bills
And having to know what I want as my career
I want to travel back in time
To where problems did not exist
And the biggest thing to worry about
Was whether or not
I had fed my fish

I never would have thought
In a million years
I would find myself thanking
The boy who caused my tears
For the heartbreaks and the lies
Broken promises
Second chances and tries
For causing my heart to shatter
After repeatedly picking up the pieces
All on my own
Making me question if love was for me
Denying any boy
Who showed the slightest interest
Because I did not think I deserved it
I just wanted to be alone
For lying to me constantly
And making me believe
That if anyone was truly honest
It must be a dream
You changed my course of happiness
And made me want to sin
Drink away the pain
And never let you back in
I wanted to forget your name
And your forest green eyes
I wanted to kiss a boy
Who would not tell me lies
Once I sobered up
I came to believe
You were never good enough
To love someone like me
So thank you for my tears
And your expensive lies
Thank you for pushing me on a path
To meet the boy with green eyes
To tinder a relationship
Into the brightest of flames
To love someone worth trusting
That makes me want to dance in the rain
Thank you for the pain
You have caused me
Without experiencing you
I wouldn't be in love with Garrett Hedley
