i don't want an apology
i don't need a half hearted smile
because you feel obligated
i don't want your pity
i don't need you to feel sorry for me
because believe it or not
being hurt isn't new to me
i just want a "thank you"
that's all
for loving you
when you least deserved it

In her arms
He falls into a slumber
First with a frown
Then it faded into something better

In her arms
His hands wrapped around her
Legs intertwined
His breathing slow and meek

In his arms**
She closes her eyes
Her fingers tracing his features
Admiring his most child-like moment

In his arms
She sings a lullaby
To chase away his demons
So the sweetest dreams could be by his side

the dark sky approaches
and the stars start to shine
they align slowly
and they look so fine

the dark sky approaches
and he started to cry
as the stars aligned slowly
he watches as she breathes her last goodbye

Better to deserve and not have
Than to have and not deserve...
Better to do and not to be recognised
Than to be recognised and not have done...

One day
A friend in need
I did everything I could
I did not give up
He pushed away
He was sick
He was my brother
I was his little sister
Not of blood
But of heart
He was giving up
I wasn't
Even if he pushed away
I would always stay
He wouldn't answer
I thought all I did was in vain
But I kept on doing it

Now I know
Nothing was in vain
It's not the same though
But he is thankful for being my main
My main thought throughout those dark days
He is thankful for all I did
And he says without me he'd be lost

Now I know
Better to deserve and not have
Than to have and not deserve...
Better to do and not to be recognised
Than to be recognised and not have done...

I thought that
it would be worth giving a try,
so I got involved
in the sweet sound of your voice.

I could not explain
but I was sure.
It was you,
all this time.
The empty side of my bed
all the love songs
all the love poems
all the things I’ve ever wrote.

It’s you.
It’s always been you.
