I don't know what to do
I don't know who to be
I don't know how to tell you
That I don't know me

I'm a shape shifter
I've been this since birth
I'm a different person
Every day on this earth

I'd been someone else
For so very long
That I couldnt see myself
And everything felt wrong

Until one day
In the middle of the night
I woke to a woman
such a beautiful sight

In her eyes I saw
The perfect reflection
Of a man
With familure complexion

I know what to do
I know who be be
Because I love you
And you love me
Needs some work...

Try to remember, forget.

I'm forgetting so much this year
They charge a memory for every tear
The last thing I remember came crashing from my eye
and now I have no reason left to cry.
Blessed are the forgetful
for they get the better even of their blunders.

always

It was eighth grade band
the very first day
I'd been a member for years
and I knew how to play

But I looked across the circle
and time stopped dead
I couldn't catch my breath
and the thoughts left my head

That moment stretched on
for what seemed like a year
I was overwhelmed with bliss
and consumed with fear

I never believed
in love at first sight
but there she was
she shone so bright

But this isnt a fairy tale
with a happy end
we still see eachother
but she calls me a friend

I still lover her
but it matters not
she moved on
my love she forgot

I'll cherish that moment
for the rest of my days
when I saw the only girl
I will love...always.

— The End —
