Everyone wonders where to find love,
they'll look left, right, below, and above.
But what they don't seem to understand,
is that love must be given to them by hand.
The greatest of things come unexpected,
to those who are not impatiently infected.
So try closing your eyes, and opening your heart,
then you and your lover can't be too far apart.

How does it feel to lie every day?
To try and fool yourself in every way?
To look so perfect yet feel so weak
To pretend it doesn’t bug you when inside you weep

Have you ever thought of just being yourself?
Putting yourself out there just for the wealth
Of health you can get from acceptance
To not give a **** to just live in balance

Stop doing your hair and take off the makeup
Stop sleeping around and get ready to wake up
Everyone will judge you not matter what you do
So be judged for who you are not who you *****.
Two thousand and ten,
that's when I noticed my heart beat for you.

Two thousand and ten,
I thought I was crazy to even look at you.

I've been here for you,
I've cried with you,
I've admitted I wanted to die to you.
I've also left you passed out drunk of the floor, just so I wouldn't kiss you.

Two thousand and eleven,
suicide strikes and you disappear.
It's ******* me too,
I'm always here for you.
Let me cry with you,
I always say how I'd rescue you.

Two thousand and twelve,
I admit my love for you,
you love me too?
I'm not a real girl to you.

You said you always wanted to know,
so go, kiss me.
You made my heart skip a beat.
You make me nervous,
you make me look twice after we kiss.

Your beard scratched my neck,
you make my eyes roll back,
with a simple press of your perfect lips.
And, those finger tips,
tracing me, learning me, finally touching me.

Two thousand and twelve,
if you leave now I have no where to go.
I'm starting to feel low,
nothing that good could be so wrong.
Maybe some clarity will bring us to where we belong.
