She’s got something special,
Those words would ring,
In the back of my mind,
What a change she’ll bring.

To this world so miserable,
She’ll persevere.
With her drive and passion,
She lacks any fear.

Although this girl confused,
She smiles and nods.
Happy with her thoughts,
But she finds it kind of odd.

Something special, you say?
Are you talking about me?
In my heart, I know
My future bigger than the sea

It’s not a talent,
Nor a gift, or chance
It’s my thoughts gave me,
The idea to dance.

To leap about
This world so broken,
Only new eyes could bring,
A new world, awoken.

We can argue day and night
Over the colour you claim to know so well
And you look so silly over the phone with me
Trying to defend your case

The truth is
No matter a deep chestnut
Or a strawberry blonde
It will always be my favourite colour

Did you know every love song reminds me of you now?
Every time I look out to the water,
I see you staring back in the reflection,
With that smile I can’t believe is for me.

I feel your hands around my waist,
Like that first night over and over again.
And in my head it’s so unreal,
For you to have chosen me,
Over all the other girls who swoon for you.

I like you more than you like me,
But that’s to be expected with a heart like mine.
“Please be careful,” I whispered to myself
As I stared at your golden face,
Illuminated by the sun setting over the train tracks,
“I won’t be able to let this one go.”

Don’t lie to me my love,
Don’t tell me what I want to hear.
I want you for you and all your honesty ,
No matter how sweet or brutal,
And I promise I’ll be the same.

Please, don't lie to me.
Please, let this be real.

Skin and bone with sunken eyes,
The most beautiful I've ever seen
a girl like you to be.
Impossible, maybe, but for you
it is effortless,
In the way you seem to live your life.

Ashes cover your nails
That you've always done up so well,
Even when they've locked you in the jail cell
That you're all too familiar with.
I'd pay to meet the men who've hurt you.
To know the life you've lived.

To use my voice to tell the world,
"She's not who you think she is!"
You put on quite the show, I've got to say
For those who don't bother to give a second glance
At the girl who drinks her life away.

How are you so happy, young girl,
The one you say no one wanted,
The one that the kids taunted
For hiking up your skirt to the gentlemen
Who were willing to give you a pretty penny?

Look at your skin, bruised and battered,
That you love to show off to the world.
And to smile into the eyes of the lover
Who used you so blatantly,
Is the greatest form of control I've ever seen
In a life that is run by chaos.

Judgmental they are, I tell you
But I see your strength in you
And a little bit of crazy too.
But don't we all go a little mad once in a while?
I'd be a liar to say I'm not intrigued
In the journey you've taken to get here,
And the story that waits to be written.

Wear your name proud,
You will never be forgotten.

Open your eyes and take a look
Write those numbers in your little book
Make sure to keep them low today
And the pain in your stomach will go away

Swallow some pills and you'll be fine
In just a few weeks they'll see you shine
And light as a feather you'll prance around
This time your feet won't make a sound

Slip yourself into your tight black dress
Your best friend says you should give it a rest
Listen to me, no time to waste
So smack a smile on that pretty face

Don't whisper a single sound to him
He'll see your inner light has dimmed
The dumb girl with thighs that always chafe
Will be no match to your skinny waist

Take one step, and another and another
Until your book sees a lower number
Get used to looking at your reflection
If you want to earn your loves affection.
