The best part of this
is being able
to make a happy song
sad.

Why can't I be normal?

On or off,
something's off.
Too upset
or too crazy.
There's never an
in-between.

Either way,
people question
why I am
the way I am.

Sometimes I wonder,
What's the point
of going on?

I'll be dishonest with you,
and tell you
I feel accepted all the time.

The only one who gets me
lives two hours away,
and I'll be honest,
and tell you this,
he should be expecting
a call from me today.

I forgot how
you keep me
up at night.
Ignore my fatigue,
and drag me
to the wee
hours
of the morning.

I forgot how
you keep me
from eating.
The thought of food
makes me want to *****
anything inside of me.

I forgot how
you make me
realize how
full of flaws
I really am.

I remembered how
you can help me,
but is it worth this
pointless depression
that drags me through the day,
day by day?

I can't help but
stare at the picture
where you kiss my cheek
in the middle of your show
and think that maybe
for once
I've got something going for me.
I'm not a failure.

Wondering where you've been all my life.
Take me into your loving arms.
I just started living.
Darling, I will be loving you till we're 70.
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars.

When you say you need me,
know I need you more.
Place your head on my beating heart.

I'm scared.
Oh, so scared.
But when you're near me,
I feel like I'm standing with an army
of men armed with weapons.

Maybe we found love right where we are.

I love lying next to you.
I could do this for eternity,
you and me.

When my hair's all gone and my memories
        fade,
I know you will still love me the same.

When you say you love me,
know I love you more.

Do you see that rose in my garden? That strange beautiful rose? The one that blossoms in silence?

Oh! She's beautiful isn't she? So intensely beautiful, so silently intensely beautiful!

So, quiet, be quiet, quieter still - lest she withers at our utterances.
And move away, lets move farther away, slowly, a step at a time, lets move away.

Ah! That strange beautiful rose in my garden.
