Lighten up, little one
Just because he can't see your beauty,
Doesn't mean you have none

Lighten up, little one
As the sun starts to set,
Keep in mind when the stars have met

Stand up and continue to dance
To the changing colors of the horizon,
To the sound of silence that's upon

Lighten up, little one
Remember what you deserve
Remember who you are

You are stronger than this
Wiser than this
You are made to be loved
Not to be dissed

You are better than this
How can you be okay with this?

You deserve nothing but understanding
You deserve hugs each time you cry
You deserve all that you're not getting
But please tell me why

You deserve light even in darkness
You deserve songs of love in the cold
You deserve all the world's happiness
Little one, now's the time to be bold

Lighten up, little one
Now's the time to fly
Go ahead little one
Stop settling with just getting by
Go ahead little one
Go and give life a try

I'm not saying that it's not gonna hurt
Because it does
It will
It will continue to hurt every single day
He will do things that will hurt
He will say things that will hurt
He will

But it's okay
It's a risk I am willing to take
It's a risk I am willing to embrace
I'd lay it all down
Give my best shot
Because I'm in love
Because I love
And knowing that it might work would have to be enough

this is love?
this is what people die for? cry for? long for?
this is love?
this is what people beg for? lie for? crash for?

no.
this is not love.

love is supposed to be like coffee in the morning,
like the first sunshine after a week of rain,
like seeing your first sunset by the beach.

love is supposed to be beautiful, and light
it is supposed to be new, and fresh
it is supposed to be real, and true

no.
this is not love.
this is some lame excuse.

love is not supposed to be like hangover in the morning,
love is not supposed to be like losing your favorite hanky,
it's not supposed to be like getting the flu on your birthday.

no.
this is not love.

it has been wonderful
sharing this beautiful life with you
but as they say, all good things must come to an end


and i guess this is it
this is our 'end'

We have been seeing each other for a couple of months now
No anything, just seeing each other

And one day you said you wanted to spend the night…
I said ‘no problem’ a little too excitedly because I really wanted to do something huge with you.
Thoughts went in and out of my head while you were lying next to me.

God I could live this way everyday…
Under the same sheets, with hands and legs intertwined…
Like all that’s not with us on this bed does not exist…
Like we are all that matters…
Because at that moment, you were all that matters…
You are all that matters

But don’t get me wrong
Having you beside me is not the best part

Want to know what is? The certainty
This relationship lacks certainty
And for the very first time… I was certain. I’ll still have you tomorrow.

When I wake up, you’ll still be here.

The words I want to hear
I softly whisper them out loud
I love you, my dear
You make me so proud
There is no one like you
And there never will be
You don’t have to be blue
Just feel that you’re free
I love you, my dear
You are so kind
Let go of your fear
Calm down your mind
Feel your heart beat
Tune in to your light
Focus and breathe
You are all right

Through the silence
You have spoken
You made it clear
You had me broken
