You're always there when I need you.
And you always have my back.
We laugh,
We fight,
We forgive.
When I am hurt, you make it better,
Because it makes you hurt to see me like that.
I need you in my life.
You are the other side to my soul.
You are the best friend I've ever had.

Nobody else knows me like you do.
And I know nobody quite like you.
When I needed love, and you were afraid,
I swallowed my feelings, and stayed.

You decided to be the best friend
And I tried my hardest to make feelings end.
But sitting in your firebird, as the rain sprinkled down,
I talked about how love is fake, you didn't make a sound.

You let me pour out my soul, as I cried right beside you.
You looked me in my eyes and said, "That might be true.
But I'm sure it's not. Every time you look at me, I see,
What love is supposed to be."

We pull up in my drive way, at a quarter until four.
Just as you opened the door, the rain began to pour.
I remembered your gift and ran inside so I could give it to you.
You opened the wrapper and smiled at me and replied, "Of course you knew."

The rain began to simmer down, and you took off your sweater,
You hugged me, and I smelt your scent, I think I like this weather.
You never paint, but for me you did, and you take my breath away.
I don't know what I can possibly do to make you decide to say,

"Don't be afraid to love, because your heart is safe with me,
I'll be your knight, and you will be my lady of my dreams.
He didn't deserve you and he let you go, I can't believe he's so dumb,
But it's okay because we both have known all along that I am the one."

Maybe I'm just overreacting, and maybe that's okay.
But in the rain, on a friday,
**I   F

           L
             L in love again.
You take my hand
Then you let it go
You said “You are ready”
To face it on your own

It won't be easy
Sometimes you'll fall
But there will be moments
That will make it all worth-wild

You said “Be a good person”
“Never let anyone Bring you down”
And Remember to stand tall
Don't ever hit the ground

But when you do
Rise up tall
Don't ever let the world
Make you feel small

Fight for the right
Denounce the wrong
I can tell you Daughter
You are so so strong

And I know all
about your scars
Each one makes you
Who you are

And it's OK Dear
Your wars over now
Live in peace
And be proud

So I want to thank you Mother
For breathing life into me
For seeing what you see
And teaching me

For every lesson
For every Hug
And for teaching me
How to Love
Let another cross his way--
  She's the one will do the weeping!
Little need I fear he'll stray
  Since I have his heart in keeping--

Let another hail him dear--
  Little chance that he'll forget me!
Only need I curse and fear
  Her he loved before he met me.
loosing you is like getting a shot
your words puncture my skin,
and the flow into my blood stream
it didn't take long to get to my heart

thoughts of you linger in my brain
it is like an attack on myself
you concur me
repetitively
but you always seem to leave me
i want you to let me die
but no, you leave me lie here in the dark...
just thinking of you...

when someone has your heart , how do you get it back?
its obviously not one of those things that you just ask politely for
is it?

hes teasing me , like a child
toying with me like a game

why do i keep coming back?
the reality is
i shouldn't be...
