What would you think of me
if you  knew about my past
every mistake and bad decision
do you think we would last
would it affect your vision  
if you knew about every choice ive made
would you be too afraid

what would you think of me
i wonder
would you think me less of a man
if you knew everything
that made me who i am

how can you expect me to open up
somethings, i can tell you now
will bring doubt of character
so my question is how
how can i tell you
when i'm afraid to lose you

What if i've cheated on a woman
opened up someone else's mail
What if i've even been to jail
how much judgement would you hold
if was so bold
to tell you about the old

if i say that the old me dies
when you look in my eyes
how would you feel about me
old or new
which man would you see
i question what would be your view
if you knew
the man i was
before i fell in love

Much more tired than I appear
My mind filled with fear
I hate this time of year
Just when the end is near
Finals are finally here

I just want more
Not a lot
Just more than  nothing.

I love my life

yesterday
in bed i laid
with my best friend's sister
just one of the mistakes i have made

I love my life

I fell in love with my best friend
and maybe i will be until the very end
but even though it may never be returned
at least this much i have earned

I love my life

Geraldean
kindness in a world so mean
My godmother
has now joined my father
she went to heaven
days before i could give her the best news she has ever heard
as they fly across the sky
i cry everytime i see a bird

I love my life

In a world full of bad
and things that make us sad or mad
no matter what
there is something to be had

I love my life

I thought we had a connection
A lot more than a mere *******
I didn't tell anyone
but don't say you didn't see my affection
cause who knew?
everyone
everyone but you
now i'm sitting here giving advice
to a friend whose stealing the girl i like
from a man we both know wont suffice
will he?
is he not just a rebound you have found
or was that me?

At the bottom of a box
laid a question
for the woman i chose
and top of that
laid a single rose

i knew the moment you looked in my eyes
you would be my date
this isnt something that just happened
not an act of fate
but a choice i had made

i decided right then and there
that you would be mine
they said she's a freshman
but i didn't mind
she's beautiful cute and adorable
and even though i may not get a cooler*
im a fool For her

so i invite you to spend this night with me
as if to travel to a different world
walk through this portal
the question at the bottom of the box
Formal?
*Formal dates traditionally make a cooler for the man

Good things come to those that wait
something said by those who believe in fate
I've done my fair share of waiting
a better word is wasting
nice way of saying procrastination
an excuse made out of fear and desperation
lack of confidence and courage
your being held back by hesitation
patience will do nothing but have you wait too long
hold back for no reason
sabotaging your self
you've committed self treason  
dont wait on fate
if you think your being patient
your already too late
