I can write on paper all day long...
Sometimes words, they flow out of me...
Some week, some strong...

Feelings that I can't explain...
That roll around in my head...
Bouncing around in my brain...

For so long I thought I had a handle on things...
Then you made your entrance...
funny what life brings...

God, you're so beautiful...
Sometimes it hurts to look at you...
I told you once, you take my breath away...
You have that effect on me every single day...

And I wanted everything about me to change...

I didn't think I was good enough...
Wanted you to see how cool and funny I could be...
How confident I was...
Problem was I couldn't seem to do it without a buzz...

But, I was none of those things and the more I tried...
the worse I made it, the worse I got...
became something I am definitely not...

I finally realized I should have stayed...
the way I was, I was just fine...
Quite, soft spoken, no need for the wine...

Because, that is who I am...
And I am good enough...
I realized that just plain me...
Was the person you really wanted me to be...

I just hope I woke up in time...
I hope you still want to see...
That the person in front of you now...
is the real me...
