Always sticking out
Never quite fitting in
Never really belonging
Anywhere I've been

Always feeling alone
Even in a crowd
Never being heard
Even when I scream out loud

Never loved or missed
Always an after-thought
Readily dismissed
The one that you forgot

Lonely and scared
That I'll always be alone
No one knocking on my door
No one calling on the phone

That's how it's always been
Just me all on my own
No one there to hold me
So I spend my life alone

See no, hear no
Speak no wrong
Pretend it’s alright
And that you are strong

Pretend you don’t see it
Pretend you don’t care
That it didn’t happen
Or that you weren’t there

If you just deny it
It will all disappear
Like it never happened
No worries or fear

It’s safer than facing
The truth that it’s real
That it all really happened
And that you can’t deal

The truth is life
Really isn’t fair
And no one cares
When you get scared

So tell yourself lies
So you’re not afraid
That nothing bad happened
And that you are brave

No one will help you
They’ll just watch you drown
They don’t care you can’t swim
And can’t reach the ground

So lie to yourself
If it helps you to cope
Pretend people care
To give yourself hope

If it helps you survive
And get through the pain
Then lie to yourself
If it helps you stay sane

I just met a guy
That I like a lot
He's funny and sweet
And incredibly hot!

He makes me feel special
And treats me as such
I melt from his smile
Get chills from his touch

We have great talks
Some silly, some deep
He gives me a feeling
That I want to keep

I feel safe and warm
When he holds me tight
When we cuddle up close
It just feels so right

We've only just met
So I don't want to rush
But I can't deny
I've got a really big crush

I like him more
Than I've liked in a while
I can't look at him
Without starting to smile

He's tender and sweet
He's kind and smart
He makes me think
And gives hope to my heart

This thing that we have
Is exciting and new
Only time will tell
If it's real; if it's true

But for now I'm happy
To just see where it leads
Beautiful gardens can grow
From the smallest of seeds

Lied to
Cheated on
Hurt
And abused

Bruised
And broken
Mistreated
And used

Washed up
Thrown out
Discarded
Trash

Left over
Hand-me-down
Unwanted
Crap

Defeated
And hopeless
Forgotten
Alone

Abandoned
To Fate
And left
On my own

The darker it gets
The more stars you see
But without the sun
Life wouldn't be

Without the sun
Everything dies
Hope, joy and laughter
Replaced by my cries

Eternal night
Is filled with despair
I long for the sun
But it just isn't there

It's too dark to see
As I hang my head
Without the sun's light
I soon will be dead

But without the sun
I just don't care
Why live a life
That's full of despair?

I close my eyes
To wait for the end
And remember the sun
My long-lost, dear friend

I'm hopeful again
With one word from you
The sadness is gone
I'm happy anew

You brightened my world
Bringing sun to my skies
With a few simple words
You light up my eyes

You check off my list
Like a wish coming true
When I sleep at night
Now my dreams are of you

I have hope for the future
That we're meant to last
We've only just met
But I'm falling so fast

You're all that I want
I could tell right away
We were destined to meet
Somehow, some way

You were meant just for me
And I'm meant for you
We'll build a love that will last
One that's honest and true

To build something strong
We shouldn't move too fast
I want something true
And I want it to last

But don't move to slow
For something this great
I've waited so long
But you're worth the wait

One more big let down
Another 'Oh well'
An unpleasant moment
I try not to dwell

I try to think happy
Be cheery and bright
Not focus on sadness
And keep joy in sight

Sometimes it's a struggle
Sometimes I can't cope
Sometimes it's too hard
And I give up all hope

It's one of those moments
It could go either way
I try to stay happy
At least one more day

Don't know if I'll win
But I just have to try
Just keep right on smiling
Don't let myself cry

Just keep right on going
Despite my new scars
Keep trying and hoping
And wishing on stars

Sometimes they come true
I'll keep wishing away
It will happen some day
It just won't be today

But tomorrow is new
A brand new fresh start
A chance to start over
And fill up my heart

So I'll hold on tonight
Tomorrow start new
I'll keep right on wishing
What else can I do?
