you don't know how much someone
wants to be in your place
how someone wants to be loved
the way you are loved
how someone needs to be saved
the way you are being saved.

you just don't notice
you just can't see
you have a nice life
you are breathing a good, long, happy life
you're just not letting it happen.

you are like sunsets
except never ending
you are like lightning
except less frightening
you are like rainbows
except you are only mine to love
you are like stars
except the faults
you are like the rain
except i don't feel cold
you are like the storm
except not too loud
you are like the sun
except you're not burning
you are like dawn
except you are not leaving

It is in the loudest crowds
In the darkest room
In the hardest hour
In the midst of sadness
In the time of depression
In the moment of longing
It is here, and all around
Where I always find you.

My problem is not the society,
it is the way your minds work.
My problem is not the school,
it is how you imprison us.
My problem is not the laws,
it is the way you interpret them.
My problem is not the people,
it is how they crave for superiority.

And don't even tell me I am too young to understand all the ******* you keep on feeding us. We know the difference between things that can empower us truly and things that are cruel.

I almost like it when they whisper;
behind our backs, silently
It keeps them ignorant, and us betrayed
but I don't care, it is well-played
by our own actors and actresses
they are what keeps this world in distress
but I don't care, it is the only time
when they sound like
they do listen to what I say
Like wow, you remember that?
I almost like it when they stare at us;
when they judge, silently
It keeps them ignorant of what we have,
and they think we are so foolishly in love
but I don't care, it is when I realize
that yes, we really are crazy in love
I don't care because it is when I know
who cannot be here when I am low
I don't care, keep on talking about us
There are days I am happy
and nights that are melancholy
There are days that your looks can affect me
and nights that your words can stab me
I don't care, but other times I do
I don't care, but right now I do

You want to know a secret, darling?
You're the one who keeps me breathing.
But stay quiet about it,
they might take you from me.
