If I told you that you mean
something to me
could you open up your mind
and see yourself more clearly
don't you understand
you don't need to be royalty
you're just as great
as a new song from Demi
so let's stop pretending
that we're not who we want to be
let's start looking in the mirror
and liking who we see.
So let's stop lying to ourselves
we're just as good
as everyone else
don't let anyone bring you down
let's just paddle ahead on this ocean of emotion
and let's stay happy and not frown.
So don't let them tell you,
that you're not great
let's not be consumed
by our own hate
for the person we see,
let's decide our fate,
so don't let it bring you down
or you'll get cut
by the mirror shards on the ground,
but you're still here,
you're still around,
you're important.
So don't cry when I can't be found,
just look inside you
and hear the sound
of these words
inside you're heart
you're meaningful, important,
and if you feel sad just go back to the start,
and read this over and over again, until you understand.
I won't stop writing until you're smiling,
and only then this poem will end.

Let's not imagine
a perfect life
a life without hate
a life without the guy with the scythe
a life where we all
have a special meaning
a life without
all the terrible feelings
that threaten to throw us over the edge
now stop imagining and look at your life
I bet you still think your imagining that perfect life
because your life is the life you want it to be
and no matter what
someone loves you
so don't let that person seem like a ******
show them that you
love you too.

You're just so pretty to me
I'll tell you everyday
until you believe me
when I say
you're just so beautiful
to me
and I know that
someday you'll begin to see
you're just so stunning
it's true
but what's sad it that
I'll never be with you
because I'm no one to you
because you're almost a queen
but for now you're still a princess
and there is no magic bean
to help me climb to the treasure
you mean more than any
golden eggs
so don't spare me a penny
because I don't
want a dime
the only thing I want right now
is to see you one last time.
Because you're just so brilliant
remarkable, inspiring and just so pretty
and it's a shame that you don't see it too
it'll always be a pity
until you notice that
that beautiful girl staring back through the mirror
is you.
You're just so brilliant
it's true
and now I think I've fallen in love
with you.

We start talking
I get to know you
We’ve got a lot in common
Learning things we never used to
Maybe we’re the same
Maybe we’re one not two
But I’ve just gotta say...

[Chorus]
I’m not like you
You’re not like me
We’re not the same
We’re different entirely
No simple similarities
Are ever gonna make me see
Maybe we should let it be
But the truth is in individuality
You’re not like me...

We listen to the same music
You like the same bands that I do
You know who Vanessa Carlton is
Michelle Branch too
But when you sing
You’re singing rock and country
And when I sing
Its more pop and indie
So I think it’s fairly obvious
That...

[Chorus]

I’ll tell you now
We’ll never be together
Because we’re all flying away
Like birds of a different feather
So cut us in half
Make sure those bonds you do sever
No one will ever be like me, no one will ever be like you
Not now, not then, not soon, not ever
That’s right you’re not my forever
I’ll prove you wrong because
He’s not we and we’re never to be
Never
Never
Never
Never, why...
because

No one’s like you
No one’s like me
We’re not the same
As anybody else
We’re not us
We’re you and me

Now we’ve gotta help them see
Maybe then they’ll let it be
But the truth is in individuality
You’re not like me...
I’m not like you, and we both know I’ll never be
You’re not like me, and that will never bother me
Because You’re not like me...

When I talk to you
tears form in my eyes
but I'm not sad
its just the butterflies
I get in my stomach
and I want to sing you a song
but i'd just run away
when I get all the words wrong.
Which is weird
because I wrote the song
and it only had one verse
so it wasn't very long.

To everyone else you're just the quiet girl who sits at the front of the class
But to me you're one of the most beautiful and interesting people I know.

You want to find my hope
Well you won’t find it here
You want to find my joy
Well it’s been dead for years
You want to find my passion
Well it’s lost it’s glow
You want to find my mind
Well if you do don’t let me know
You want to find my heart
Well look deeper into yours
Cause I don’t work without you
Cause I’m like a puzzle
But I’m missing half my pieces
Cause its like I’m an intricate mechanism
You can’t unlock me
Oh no you can’t cause I’m too (complicated)
You want to find my smile
Well its too far twisted, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t dead
You want to find my spark
Well lets look for yours instead
Cause you’re a fire
You gotta burn
How else are you gonna learn
That I’m scattered across the wind
Cause I’m like air
You need me to keep you going, but I don’t need you
But now you need to learn how to burn without (me)
You want to find what I can’t live without
Well I’ll tell you honey it’s definitely not you
But when you want to find me
Well… don’t act like you know me…
