Have you ever wondered why
We consume like we do
Have you ever wondered why
We always want something new

Do we really need to buy
Or is it just for show
Does it bring us happiness
Does it help us grow

I wonder what it is
That gives us this obsession
Maybe we feel successful
With a life full of possession

But what if we are wrong
And we really should be giving
What if that's the happiness
In a life that's worth living
There is no such thing as over
Because no matter how many times you said we're done
Not a million "The End..."
Can make me stop from loving you
Last night the alcohol filled my system
and I laughed so hard
pearls came rushing down my cheeks
One, two, three - more than many
Last night I cried and filled an ocean
while I got drained
of the remnants of a one true love
together with the one real agony
And last night I tried to fill me up again
with thoughts of forgiving
and a decision of forgetting
Well last night at least, I really tried
Today I woke up
with a brand new hangover
and without the same old heartburn
Yes finally
Today, the sun greeted me
and I smiled back, "Good morning."

Now off my heart goes.

Letting go and finally saying goodbye was never an easy thing for the heart that had been so true, so passionate , and so hurt. It's never easy, but not impossible.
I wake up everyday
with an urge that makes my heart run
Gives me the energy to stand up.

Im sorry
Is not you
neither him
is it.

I found real love
in the corner of the street
In the road while I drive
In the smile of a kid
In the songs that my radio plays
In the mirror of my bathroom

I found real love
In the place I never went before
In the moment I never thought
In the song I never heard
and in the person I never met before
My God it drives me crazy
that you don't know how amazing you are
It breaks my heart when you look into the mirror
and all you see are flaws
But I, your girlfriend see radiance
pouring out of every pore of your body
You complain about all of the things that I love about you
It frustrates me that you are so blind
to the very things that make you absolutely wonderful
Sometimes I just look at you and think "wow
he chose me, he is my other half
and he is perfect, so so so perfect"
You're a work of art I can admire all day long
You're a song that dances through my nervous system
and causes me to shiver in excitement
You're the high a person gets
when they smoke their first cigarette in the morning
Your eyes shine like fireflies
that glow in the dark at the end of a summer day
Your presence is enough to scare
all of my demons away
You're the firework that bursts inside of me
every time we make love
You're my lucky charm
Life with you is like reading a book that never ends
Each chapter gets better
Each minute with you is a blessing
Each day I love nothing more
than to tell you how much you mean to me
Hopefully, one day when you look into your mirror
you will see exactly what I am talking about
