It was a good day,
I was woken up by a pat on my head,
a hug around my body, and a kiss on the head
My brother brought water over for me.
It was a good day.

It was a good day,
I spent the whole morning with my other brother, my mom even came home early to help me up. I couldn't get up but it's ok, my brother can't either.
It was a good day.

It was a good day,
my brother came home like he always does, lately he's gotten home and laid with me. It's nice to have someone petting my sore muscles. My other brother tries but I usually stay a little bit away just to mess with him.
It was a good day.

It was a good day,
they brought me outside but I couldn't stand up, it's ok though because I was with my family. When they brought me back inside my brother laid with me again, he seemed sad and he was crying I couldn't understand why.
It was a good day.

It was a good day,
my dad came home and laid with me for a little. Then they put me in the car. as I felt the wind blowing on my old face and my brother petting me, it made me get the biggest smile.
It was a good day.

It was a good day,
they brought me inside and I had new friends around me. Everyone was laying and petting me, I was so awake and happy.
It was a good day

It was a good day,
They stuck a needle in my leg but it's ok my whole family was with me so I was happy. They were all crying and seemed sad so I tried to make them happy like me by smiling. I'm starting to get tired now but my dad, mom, and brothers are all with me.
It was a good day.

I lay here just another Frankenstein. Afraid like all the other monster trying to hide. Are we all just outcasts? To afraid of pain? While other want the sunshine, I want to rain.

And another monster to be mine.  They'll know me and not just my name. We talk on a cold, cold night.

Talking about everything that's trapped inside. No longer fighting feelings, so tell me girl what's on your mind? We can just talk until it's daylight, and you tell me that everything is alright. With you it's not such a cold, cold night.

Hiding in this dark corridor, finding out what we are here for. Were we just loners looking for a place to mend? Or were we something more that came from friends?

Talking about everything that's trapped inside. No longer fighting feelings, so tell me girl what's on your mind? We can just talk until it's daylight, and you tell me that everything is alright. With you it's not such a cold, cold night.

No longer fighting feelings, no longer scared and afraid. No longer lost and alone, no longer trying to hide. All of the monsters will find a home. All of the monsters will find someone to love.

I never thought this would be me

This is now the sickening reality I live in, just trying to starve off the next cut. Sweat, wake, heartache. I can't believe, I can't believe this happening. I didn't know I could feel so weak, I never thought I would be so in need. Is this how it's supposed to be? I never thought this would be me.

Somber thoughts as I close my eyes, clenching my teeth as I think of a lie. Dragging the blade down my arm, they always say it's darkest before the dawn

When I'm alone I'm my own worst enemy, a cut to the arm is the only thing that makes sense to me. I can't let you see me like this, so enveloped in sadness. I can't stand on my own two feet when the weight of the world is on me.

When I'm alone I'm my worst enemy, if only you could see what really inside of me, you would see that I'm not ok, that everything's not alright.

If people saw each other for who they really are, would you just see me with scars?

I'm not ok and it's not alright, please give me the strength to make it through this night. Just to live another day dear god I'm on my knees, I know this isn't how it's supposed to be. What the **** with wrong with me?

When I fell you weren't there, the only thing to catch me was the noose. You took the knife and hollowed me out. Please just cut me loose

This is now the sickening reality I live in, just trying to starve off the next cut. Sweat, wake, heartache. I can't believe, I can't believe this happening. I didn't know I could feel so  weak, I never thought I would be so in need. Is this how it's supposed to be? I never thought this would be me.

So don't let me down

I wake up in this bed, with a cold heartache and a searing pain in my head. I look around and pray that this pain won't last. To start a new day, to leave it all in my past. I've always left things unsaid. And it's always left me with a lifeless body and a wanting to be dead.

So I'll fight this, I'll take this leap. I'm losing it all and I only want to bleed. So I'll make this, and find a way to see, I'll take this fall and this isn't how it's supposed to be.

I'll find out, figure it out, where I'm supposed to be. I'll break out, take it all out, on who I used to be, this is what I need. I lay down in the tall grass, thinking about all the times I said "please don't let me down." Now that I've started to drown, I wonder about what happened inside that made me feel this way, so I say

Please don't let me down

Again I find heart and compassion, taking steps so I don't end up in the same old fashion. The floorboards crack where I walk, please sit me down and help me out, I know these feelings still stalk.

I'm not a dead man, I just want to know where I stand. I'm not a dead man, I'm not a dead man, I'm not dead yet.

I'll find out, figure it out, where I'm supposed to be. I'll break out, take it all out, on who I used to be, this is what I need. I lay down in the tall grass, thinking about all the times I said "please don't let me down." Now that I've started to drown, I wonder about what happened inside that made me feel this way, so I say.

Please don't open your arm tonight dear, I swear to you you'll be alright, just don't shed a tear alone. I'm always here if not on the other side of this phone. You're never alone.

This is not the end, please just step back my friend. There's still more to this journey.  Between life and lies please don't let this be a final goodbye. Because this is not the end.

You can only fake a smile for so long, but when that smile fades I hope you can hear this song. Breathe easy you'll be ok in the end.

Please don't open your arm tonight dear, I swear to you you'll be alright, just don't shed a tear alone. I'm always here if not on the other side of this phone. You're never alone. Just close your eyes and breathe dear, if only you could see, just how amazing you are. You wouldn't be leaving these scars. You're never alone.

You are not alone, no matter what you think, no matter what you say you are not alone. This pain will just seem like a blink,  there's a new sunrise each day, you are not alone.

Please don't open your arm tonight dear, I swear to you you'll be alright, just don't shed a tear alone. I'm always here if not on the other side of this phone. You're never alone. Just close your eyes and breathe dear, if only you could see dear, just how amazing you are. You wouldn't be leaving these scars. You're never alone.

Teardrops fall down on my guitar, as my heart begins to fall apart. How does this sound?

I guess for now, I'll see you around, and I'll pretend not to. I guess for now, I'll try to move on, if my heart will allow. I guess for now, if time allows, I'll wait for you. I guess for now, I'll try to move on, but my heart won't allow. Because I want to be with you.

Why does it hurt to see your face? When I used to love your embrace. I think back to the time we spent together, now it seems like it's been forever.

You took my heart when you left, you always do. I would've taken this leap, just to be with you. I've been here before, so why does it feel so new. You took my heart when you left, I wonder if I took yours too.

I guess for now, I'll see you around, and I'll pretend not to. I guess for now, I'll try to move on, if my heart will allow. I guess for now, if time allows, I'll wait for you. I guess for now, I'll try to move on, but my heart won't allow. Because I want to be with you.

Take a breath in, letting it go. If only I could the same for you. Close my eyes, letting tears fall, I promised I wouldn't let the same happen to you. Take a breath in, (laughing in your basement) letting it go. If only I could the same for you. Close my eyes, (making mischief at the mall) letting tears fall, I promised I wouldn't let the same happen to you.

Teardrops fall down on my guitar, as my heart begins to fall apart. Is this where we both make a new start? Or is this where our paths part?

I guess for now, (so I guess I'll see you) I'll see you around, and I'll pretend not to. I guess for now, (you took my heart, you always do) I'll try to move on, if my heart will allow. I guess for now, (so I guess I'll see you) if time allows, I'll wait for you. I guess for now, I'll try to move on, (I wonder if I took yours too) but my heart won't allow. Because I want to be with you.

One more second and I'll be your serenade,  dont say goodbye.  I looked into your eyes and as I told you not to cry, and you kissed me, you kissed me. I will stop pretending,  and I will still be standing for this, I'll stand up for you

I'll try to make sense of this if you'll take a chance on this, and for a girl who's gotten her heart broken I'll write a song so it's spoken that her heart's whole, and those scars are gone.

And I tasted you lips, felt the sway in your hips, and I wispered a prayer, one that you answered, and I held you close, saw the crinkle on your nose, and I tasted your lips one last time

Have you seen this girl? She's been running around my head. Have you seen this girl? She's the last thing on my mind before bed.  Have you seen this girl? She no longer has teared stained eyes. Have you seen this girl? With her in my arms is where I want to lie

And I'll try to make sense of this if you'll take a chance on this, and for a girl who's gotten her heart broken I'll write a song so it's spoken that her heart's whole, and those scars are gone.
