If I even began to try and tell you how much I love you, this wouldn't ever end.
I love you more now than when I was your best friend.

Despite what people may think about the love that we both share,
Its something that I'm proud of  and unafraid to declare.

Right now, its 3:40 and I'm unable to go back to sleep,
I'm thinking about you and the promise I just can't keep.

I'm sorry I can't seem to stay up to read to you as I said,
I'm sorry that you have to face these thoughts within my head.

But baby, if there's anything I know for sure is true,
Its that despite my actions, I'm hopelessly in love with you.

You've been here for me since day one and you've never let me down,
You talk and make me smile when all I know is how to frown.

And if you couldn't see it, or if you doubt its truth,
If, like other people, you start to doubt such love for youths,

I really just need to tell you, as I lay awake in bed,
All the time, its mostly you that resides within my head.

I know that this is cheesy, writing a silly little jig,
Its as though we're both little, passing notes just like we're kids.

But it seems that, for some reason, the words, they flow tonight.
Its the first time in a long time I've been able to just write.

I feel that now is perfect, to explain to you these things,
That make me feel worse than the worst of all my dreams.

You see, if there's anything I'm good at, its writing things like this,
The words, they flow much easier. It kind of brings me bliss.

Baby, let me tell you of the things that make me cry,
Like when I get alone, sometimes I wish that id just die.

Or sometimes, out of nowhere, I just stare and fight back tears,
Because I think of silly things that happened through the years.

Sometimes, on occasion, I even think of you,
I know that its upsetting that sometimes I doubt what's true.

And even still, there's more to tell.
Some things that make me yell.

Like people like my mom and dad,
Who make just living hell.

But baby, if there's anything I've learned now not to doubt,
Its that this love is genuine; you, I can't live without.

And baby, if that's not genuine or if you still can't see,
Think of how you see me, and multiply by three.

That's how I feel about you, although its much much more.
For you, Id be your everything. Id be who you adore.

What makes this thing that we've both special and unique,
Is that we can love each other without kisses on the cheek.

At our age, it seems silly, stupid or naive,
That's what people tell me when I say when I will leave.

But they can't seem to see you in the way that I just do,
They can't seem to tell that I'm desperate to be with you.

Baby, I love you, of this I'm extremely sure.
Baby, you're my everything and still you so much more.

So now I've told you everything, of why my mood just drops,
I've told you of what I think of when I'm crushed by rocks.

I've tried to tell you how I feel, the words aren't flowing freely,
It seems that for now its time for my talent to start to leave me.

So baby, keep your head up now and smile all today,
Don't forget about the words that I always can say.

Baby, I love you, don't forget, now, I'm heading back to sleep.
Thanks for being the only one who doesn't scream "black sheep."

I typed in your name into the "To" box,

the same as I do everyday.

I started to send you the familiar hi,

but forgot the promise to stay away.

I now remember the words that I'd screamed

when I told you to leave me alone.

I thought it'd be better for the two of us if,

I'd expressed my need for you to begone.

But now I'm here sitting, regretting those words,

although what we had was taboo.

There never was meant to be what we had,

there should never have been me and you.

There are chips in her armor, like a porcelain doll's face.

Her eyes are dull with a heartless sort of grace.

She's falling through the cracks like a little blade of grass.

She's falling through the cracks, oh, she's falling very fast.

The girl has a name that she wishes to be called.

She has a personality that no one can recall.

Who was she really, truthfully? Did we really know?

And why was it that no one knew just where it was she'd go?

This girl's been crying quite a lot, her eyes are proof of that.

She criticizes her imperfections and tugs at baby fat.

"Why can't I be pretty? Why can't they notice me?"

"Why can't I be the girl of which he is so deserving?"

When you look at me, I just don't see,

the person that I saw last week.

The love is gone, my light forlorn,

my being is consumed by hate and scorn.

How could you say what you dared to,

something you swore you'd never do?

I'm sorry dear, I'm too far gone,

It's time right now to move along.

You tell me of what your name could've been,

had you been the child that Devil wanted.

Your name would've been simply, "Ivan."

Your achievements, he would've flaunted.



But you're not the child you would've been,

Instead you're something new.

And despite his harsh and crushing words,

I'm extremely proud of you.

All hail the heartbreaker,

Silent, he’s the king

Of all things that come naturally

When breaking hearts of teens.



All hail the heartbreaker

Bow before it’s late.

For he shall find another

When you were his first date.



All must hail the heartbreaker.

He’s the master of this game.

He got you hook, line, and sinker,

Then left your heart with shame.



So all hail the heartbreaker.

For when he finds his queen,

She’ll break the heart of the one

Who broke the hearts of teens.

My poor heart, it's betrayed me.

It's tearing at the seams.

And my tired little fingers are

reaching for lost dreams.



The little girl I used to be,

She's fading every day.

I wish that I could bring her back,

with words still left to say.



Little girl with tears so large,

they start to flood the floors.

She gasps for breath and grabs her chest,

trying to unlock the doors.
