What happens when your good
isn’t good enough?
What happens when the going
gets too tough?
What happens when your love
isn’t strong enough
to keep the world upright?

What happens when your mind
is left open to the world?
What happens when the mirror
shows just a little girl?
What happens when you try
to bear the weight of the world on your shoulders-
and you drop it?

What happens when the world is yours
and then it slips away?
What happens when your life
turns into just another day?
What happens when you have a book
of things you want to say
that you can’t?

What happens when your wishes
stay at the bottom of the well?
What happens when your secrets
aren’t worth enough to tell?
What happens when your world becomes
a scattered, living hell
and there’s no escape?

What happens when the light
at the end of the tunnel goes out?
What happens when you’re living
in a shadow of doubt?
What happens when you lose
that thing you just can’t live without
and there’s nothing left?

What happens when you die
with your whole life left to live?
What happens when you lie
because there’s no truth left to give?
What happens when the only one left
to save you is you,
and you’re the reason you’re lost in the first place?

No, it doesn't happen
Through secret glances
And shy smiles

Nor does it happen
When you gaze into ones
Deep crystal eyes

It doesn't happen
In the midst of flashlights
Or romantic background music

It happens
When you see deep within
Ones soul
Not just the window
But the whole house of emotions

It happens
When he grows meadows of daisies
Inside the ugliest parts of you

It happens
When he caresses your tear stained face
In 2 in the morning
And holds you like you're gold

It happens
When you're upset over him
Not being there for your little fits

It happens
When the suitcases under your eyes
Are packed
With thoughts of him
And only him

It happens
When you're too young
To fully comprehend
What the universe holds for you and him
But what if
At a tender age of fifteen
You know he's the one?
The one
That holds the perfect fit
To your broken soul

It happens
When you least want it to

**** happens
If you have a friend who goes through life in a negative way
**** happens
The prime minister you have ***** you around
**** happens
If your friend becomes jealous of you because nothing goes right for him when he didn’t do much to deserve it
**** happens
When you favourite sports team loses when the referee is cheating
**** happens
When you have a sister who always puts you down by calling you a negative hypercondriac
**** happens
when your dad doesn’t understand you even if you were working for 3 days a week
**** happens
When your hot water system explodes and nobody helps you straight away
**** happens
When they get rid of your favourite talk show for strange reasons
Just say just say
**** happens
Because there is nothing much you could do about it
**** **** ****
**** happens mate
Move on and get over it

it just so happens
that I lace you into
every song that I hear

I find your name
scrawled wonderfully
on the spine of every book.

it just so happens
the grooves in my records
all spell out your name

and it just so happens
that my fingerprints
can be found all over you

and that the smell
of your skin lingers
on mine for as long as I let it

but it just so happens
that I’d let it linger longer,
time, I find, makes it fade

and it just so happens
that the time has come
that it's gone from me
for now

and it just so happens
that for now I’m not sure
which way’s up and which is down

and your hand is missing from my life
and your words are spare

my time is long
and all I have to do
is wish you were here

and it just so happens
that tonight
I’ll fall asleep alone

I’ll invent your smell
and behind my closed eyes
I’ll watch you move
your perfect lips
to the words of my favorite song
and the words of yours

and it just so happens
that the tears will seep
from the corners of my eyes,
only to dampen
my flowered pillowcase

and it just so happens
that in the morning when I wake
I’ll still see you singing
I’ll hold on to the dream
for as long as I can.

I’ll remember the night you
told me
all the reasons
you knew you loved me.

back pushed against the door
in the dark, damp room.

I’ll remember the feeling
of knowing you are somewhere...
loving me

and I hope you know
wherever you may be
you should have that feeling
with you always.

and I hope you do always smile.
and I hope you do always laugh.
and I hope you do always love.
and I hope it’s always me.

but if it just so happens
that one day you wake and find
you can no longer say
your love is with me


I’ll set you free and watch you fly
and as you leave, I'm sure I'll cry -
but your wings spread in front of me
will be the happiest thing I’ll ever see
even while they’re flying
you away from me.

You're told to get over it
Leave it all in the past
Let your life be in transit
These feelings will never last

They say things just like
There's always worse than you
Don't be miserable, take a hike
Why don't you think it through

Yeah, but the **** happens to me
This is something they don't have to face
Because this **** happens to be
Leaving me feeling a bit out of place

You look in the mirror and see stars
You never get to feel the strain
All I ever see are ******* scars
And I still feel the ******* pain

You live in your world, so perfect
And you are in that world, still
I go through life feeling like a reject
And I am guessing I always will

Because **** happens to me
So why should you ****** care
Because **** happens to be
When you wasn't the one who was there

Yes I'm feeling this anger inside
And sometimes it seems to fade
Do you feel these tears I have cried?
Always feeling like a freak those *******'s made

So I guess I just have to carry on
And do what they always seem to say
Keep your chin up and be strong
So why don't the nightmares go away?

I suppose, **** happens to me
And it never happens to you
When **** happens to be
Always ******* coming true
