The sun rises from the east
It goes down to the west
The moon rises from the east
It goes down to the west

They do this repeatedly
They chase each other in circles
Every day, every night
The same, never-ending cycles

Never reaching each other
Never knowing how one feels
Hot and cold
Soft and steel

But it's a sacrifice
For the common good
Just like you and me
You are the sun and I am the moon
Knowing that it's for the best makes it even more painful.
Wait, don't go!
It's all that I can say
I've fallen so low
It's been one heck of a day

I don't know what to do
I can't reach you
Not even a spec
Without you, I'm a wreck

I tried to run after you
But then I fell on the dirt and clay
And then I realized
My legs didn't work the same way

I can't remember how to walk
I've been crippled for so long
I didn't know how to stand on my own
Now I know, my perspective was wrong

My life didn't depend on you
I need to stand up and rise
And to cure myself
And soar in the skies
I look up and see the wall
I see no way out
If I climb it, I fall
I can't do it, there's no doubt

I can't move forward
With this obstacle in my way
My chance of escaping this problem
Is so far away

When all hope is lost
I sat and I cried
I didn't know what to do
I couldn't because I didn't try

Little did I know
Waiting at the side was a door
Open and unlocked
I couldn't see it before

I took a step through
I entered and found the light
Who knew there are many ways
To move forward and fight
Being frustrated at what you can't do will not benefit you. Instead, find other ways to move forward and overcome the obstacle.
This is the promise that I'll keep,
I will try to have a long sleep,
A long sleep that would be so deep,
That I can't hear my cellphone's beep.

Oh, I'm so tired of all this work,
I am trying to do my best,
But my boss is a one big dork,
He thinks I'm just one of the rest.

I never thought that earning money,
Could be as hard as raising child,
But please remember this honey,
All things in the world could turn wild.

I just want to embrace my bed,
Forget all my problems and sleep,
'Cause in my dreams I would have fled,
This is the promise that I'll keep.

I never tried to face my fears
I end up bursting into tears
I just want to be in the swim
Even though I am not that slim

But this year I won't be the same
I would not be that so-called "lame"
I promise to use some prudence
When I boost my self-confidence

If you're too skinny or too fat
Please remember that you're perfect
A friend will give your back a pat
It's time to show yourself respect

Try to have a conversation
To Him who made you beautiful
In His eyes there's no exemption
He will make your life colorful
So stand up, and face your fears

Unrequited love, wasted on the wrong guy
Feeling way too delirious, he's taking me way too high
Moments turn to memories, let the time pass us by
Only you can drown the pain out, just look me in the eye

This stupid little heart, I guess we're not meant to be
Just open up the gates, my love please set me free
Got the center stage, but the light won't shine on me
If that cold, hard stare of yours is the only thing I see

I can dream all I want but I will never get my way
I would tell you everything I've always wanted to say
I'm trying hard just to find every way to make you stay
I'd wish on a star but it won't ever be the same
it's you.

(will probably turn this into a song if I ever get any ideas)
"We're friends" you said.
There when you need me,
Your not, when I need you.
That's life,
One big hypocrite.
