Our love was fruitful
But so rotten
Far from an Adam and Eve's story
We both knew what were doing
When we were in the sheets
We both had it all and gave it up for nothing
Lust in the air every time we connect a stare
Hyatt knew us well.
Hyatt knew us well.

Never owe anyone money ever, borrow nothing, take no favours.

Do not expect unconditional love from anything but a dog, no one will love you unconditionally. Life isn't a fairy tale.

Even your oldest friends will disappear when you need them most.

You love your family but that doesn't mean you should trust them.

Do not trust people.

Take at least one self defence class, people will hurt you, people will want your skin enough to crawl inside and take it from you.

Give favours you can afford to give without getting something back.

Expect nothing from others.

Take care of yourself, no matter what's happening try to take care of yourself.

Do not share your feelings while they are most intense.

Hate less, please please hate less.

Cut off any malignant people in your life.

Live with detachment, let nothing touch you.

Only tell people you love them if it doesn't matter when they don't say it back.

Do not expect people to care for you or comfort you, if it happens on its own savour every last second.

I didn't do my homework
But you can say
That I tried
Tomorrow they will notice
My latest rebellious behavior

It annoys me a lot
Because no one ever asks why
Why did our straight A girl didn't succeed
Not this time?

I wish they would ask
Then they would see
That I am no rebellion

I'm actually just being me.

I try not to fall
And you know,
I'm really good at it

I don't ever fall
Because I'm the type of person
Who always breaks

They always pick me up
And mend me once again
Then push me back out there

They call it love
Call it pleasant
Call it heaven

And I promise them
That this time
That's what I'll find

But I've fallen again
And I'm so sorry
Not for me
But for them
Because their is no worse thing than seeing

A friend whom you can not mend.

18
My coffee is warm
So I'll burn my tongue

Mother warned me
But I'm 18

So tired I am
Of staying up all night

I think about what a grown-up I am
Driving my car and drinking beers

Telling Mom to let me go
Telling him never to do so

But this morning I burned my tongue
And I started to cry

Nobody warned me
I'm still 18

I'm tired
Of being awake all night

I think about how big my bed has gotten
How to pay my bills and raise a child

My Mom told me never to call
And he rarely does anymore

Relax your mind ,
I'm gonna take my time
it's just you and I ,
we will be up all night .

So close your eyes
I'll show you paradise ,
the pleasure is so high
so please leave your cares behind.

We can groove all night,
cause the feeling is just right .
Yeah, we can take our time
cause everything's alright.

just me and you
you and I
we can do this all up
all night .
The first 6,570 days, you're treated as a king
They tell you that you can be anything
Failing to warn of what the real future brings
   Everyone loves you, until you're 18

Nevermind preparing America's youth for what is ahead
Feed us lies and outdated curriculum instead
Row row row, remember? . . . life is but a dream
   Everyone loves you, until you're 18

Happiness can come with many limitations
So many that sadness is seeming more a celebration
Depressing, but apparently, that is how it must be
   Everyone loves you, until you're 18

Refrain from smiling, stray away from laughter
In this world, misery seems to follow soon after
Don't get to pumped kids, the world is not what it seems
   I just wish I had known, before I turned 18
