I once loved you the way I loved myself maybe even more
Now after all the tears, lies, and pain i started to love less
Not you but myself
You see I thought it was me who made you do the things you did
Maybe I wasn't good enough, pretty enough and gain to much weight
Than I look in a mirror and I realize yes I gain some weight but I bought life in to this world
Yes I have days when I could do better but even than my better is someone best
And oh yeah I'm no where near a Plain Jane I have beauty that shines for the inside out
Than I think....... I once loved you the way I loved myself maybe even more but now i love myself so much that if it was you or me
I will chose ME

You may notice that you have someone who loves you
Someone who's been there for a long time
Fighting for your  
If you put the phone down
You may notice that your losing me
That I'm tried of fighting for your attention
And getting lonely
You would see the sadness and hurt in my eyes
If you just put the phone down

Sometimes love scares me
When you get that overwhelming feeling that you can't control it's so scary
It makes your heart race and you mind starts to wonder
I like to be in control of my life at all times but when your in love you have no control
When my mind begins to race I think about what if I love him more than he loves me
What if I'm in love and he's in like
What if I'm to far in love that I don't see the wrong that he is doing or I see it but look the other way because I don't want to believe it
How can I get this feeling under control where I won't get to hurt if something goes wrong
How can I love and be in control?

Someone
Stay humble my friend.
For you won't be here one day.
And although you think you might have left a legacy,
In due time it too will fade with you.
You want to be remembered as someone who
Was kind.
Loving.
Respectful.
Helpful.
Friendly.
And above all humble.
So take the compliments nicely.
Try to always be kind.
And try to be forgiving.
Although I know it can sometimes be hard.
Help others.
Stand up for one another.
Because those are the true legacies that impact lives.
Not just some material thing that will fade faster than you think.

Don't blame me
It's not my fault you don't feel good enough
It's not my fault you didn't make it
Don't blame me
That you don't know your worth
That they take and take till you have nothing else to give
Don't blame me
You say it's okay when it's not
You put everyone first and forget about yourself
Don't blame me
Because I showed you the real world
Because no one can see your pain
Don't blame me
I'm just showing you the strength that you can have
I'm the things you once was and wanted to be in the dark
Don't blame me
Because I use to be you

It's cool if you don't want to talk to me and be around me
I'm cool with that
It's cool if you have better things to do, if you want to do you
I'm cool with that
It's cool if the time I need is not the time you want, if you want to move on
I'm cool with that
So when someone else makes time, talks to me, wants to be with, is all about, and makes moves for and with me
I just want you to be cool with that
Cause I am
