You may not know it
But you took me by the hand
And brought me to this adventurous land
Retaught me how to smile
How to really laugh
Then at night you go to rest
And in the dark
I shed a tear
Because you can't see
But maybe it's me who can't see
Because you always come back
And so I smile again
But I've been too blind to see that
But now I do
So I can laugh

Noticing little things
Like that piece of the conversation
When everything seems right
Even when you know it shouldn't
Like when you realize that
You're still breathing
Your hearts still beating
It may be natural but it's still
Wonderful
Exciting  
Beautiful
I have to go
Goodnight
Turning please don't go to
I'm glad we talked
Even if it wasn't for long enough.....
Noticing the smile you forgot
Smile for tomorrow, today, and yesterday
Smile for me smile for you
Even if it's totally wrong
It's just so right
Oh well goodnight
Goodnight not
Goodbye
And that's why it's just so right....
So completely right

They wanted the truth
So I told them
But I guess it didn't please them
Because they tossed me aside
As if I was a broken toy
But look at us we're all broken
And we look at each other like we're not human
Just because we're messed up
And our feelings are confusing
But they treat us like we don't have any
Because to them we're all toys sometimes
So again they leave us
But who wouldn't, look at us
Leave me
And I'll be
Broken
Empty
Lost
But who cares?
So treat me like a broken toy
And I'll be forever gone

What do you do when madness contains you?
What do you do when silence breaks you?
Where do you go to get tomorrow?
Where do you go to lose your sorrows?
When will you see there is no light?
When will you see that you gave up the fight?
Who do you go to when you have no place?
Who do you go to when you lose the race?
Why do you find it so hard to believe?
Why do you find it so hard to leave?

Sometimes its easiest to let the world fall around us

This is life

So you will cry

Learn the truth  

Learn to lie

Selfish games

We will play

Feel the wound

Fight the pain

Find your path

Find your pain

Find your sorrows

Lose the game

Find your wound

Deepen it

There's nothing left

No one wins

I've never believed in fairy tales
I don't need to be a princess

I don't have high expectations
Because i want to achieve them

But you'll still be my what if...
