Sugar coated
Polk-a-dotted
Love is all I need

From my head to my toes
All I need is some love

Wrapped in paper or
Different flavors
Love is all I need

Give it to me in a poem
Send it off to me at home

Find it under your bed
Get it though your head!
Love is all I need

The tide comes in and
It starts to thunder
The water sprays and spins
As I quickly go under

I reach out for a hand
Not a soul there to save me
An escape I should've planned
Heaven I start to see

Forgetting how to breathe
My heart stops it's beating
Loneliness I did achieve
Happiness I've been defeating

In front of me the gates appear
I turn to runaway
They say I've nothing to fear
This is all because of one day

Where to begin?
I'm full of things to say
But not sure if I'll let you in

I'll scream and cry if I want
I'll do anything to succeed
I'm not the type of girl to flaunt
All of these you should believe

I have many friends and
I know all of my haters, but
Do I trust you? That depends

I can stand here all day
You can stare all you want
I don't care what you say
So go ahead and taunt

If you want to know me
But sit there and talk behind my back
Then just leave em be because
Courage is what you lack

A nail in her head,
A spike from the ground,
"Leave me be" she had said,
A knife we had found.

She sits by herself,
Doesn't talk to anyone.
Sits there and writes,
Noticing everything.

Friends that surround her,
None that are very close.
She can cause quite a stir,
This she very well knows.

So why does she ignore,
A chance to be normal?
No one does she adore,
Love to her is too formal.

We try to see her heart, but
It's not worn upon her sleeve.
We all watch her cut,
Our eyes, we can't believe.

She holds her pillow tight,
She closes those blue eyes,
She shuts out all the light,
And inside, she dies.

Wishing upon a bright star,
Her knight never comes.
Maybe he's not far.
He might come, so she waits.

Didn't think it'd take so long,
Dust is collecting on her.
She feels that she doesn't belong,
So she waits for her sir.

She see's him coming along,
The bouncing lanterns gleam.
She waited so long.
She wakes, it was just a dream.
So now she waits.

God puts her to the test
Every hour of every day
Doesn't give her a second to rest
Even tests her in the bed she lays

She looks around, no one's there
She looks so close and looks so far
Everyone's gone, it's just not fair

She fights for attention
She longs to be free
She has an infection
That is the depression, you see

Send her an angel
She's all by herself

I lose myself in that blue
Every time it takes my breath away
I'll never lose any interest
I can look at them all day
They are my special place
They bring you lots of charm
Talking for you when you're silent
With those you cannot harm
Instead you steal peoples attention
I wish I had that power
I wish that I knew
My attention you devour
With just one look at me
You send my heart into a race
Whenever I need a thrill
I just look at your face
It's so hard to look away
It's so easy to look in
I can't help but stare
This should be a sin
I can't tear my eyes away
Through them I see so much light
You have so much soul
This is an amazing sight
