I never did get the memo
That said I had to grow up
I guess I wasn't paying attention
Or off somewhere having fun

Although it looks like age has taken it's toll
The creases and wrinkles are all mine
The kid that lives deep in my soul
Won't let go of this playful mind

So next time they tell me to grow up
I'll say on the outside I have
But on the inside there's really no telling
Cause that's where I'll stay the kid that I am

Being a girl *****! :(
I'm one big ball of emotion
Being tossed back and forth
On the waves of this female ocean

Just when I say I'm doing okay
Another tsunami comes along
Washing away the sanity I saved
Swept out to sea, it's gone

Being a girl *****! :(
All the makeup that we wear
Who are we trying to impress anyways
And do those jerks out there really care

All they do is treat me like a piece of meat
With desert on the side
Would you like some tears with that
It doesn't take much these days to make me cry

Being a girl *****! :(
With some of the things we have to wear
This over the shoulder boulder holder
Wasn't built for comfort that's for sure

And is it already that time of month again
I've about had it with these cramps
If I hear another man explain my mood to me
I swear I'm going to reach up and pull his tongue out through his...

Being a girl *****! :(**
But one thing that I can say
It sure as heck beats being a guy
Where stupidity always gets in the way

being in love with an idea

is hopelessly dangerous

you’re never sure if you love

what they are

or who they are

I didn't see us coming-
I didn't see us falling asleep side by side
And waking up to fingertips rolling
Down my spine like the chills do
When your lips find the crook of my neck.

I didn't see you putting it all
On the line so I could try to love you
Once more and do it well;
I didn't see you ever being selfless enough
To open back up to me.

I didn't see me writing poem after poem,
Stanza after stanza about you and
The way you make me feel so safe and
Comfortable, as if we were just supposed
to be, be here together.

Just like us, I don't have to force any lines or words;
They flow, they come to me easily
And I have to write about you
Because that's what I do about people
I feel for, for people that occupy my mind.

I didn't see myself wearing your sweaters to bed.
I didn't see myself wanting to be yours
So badly that it took some liquid courage
To muster up the strength in my muscles
To walk to you and kiss you on that summer night.

I didn't see you for who you really were
Until now, now that I've seen you bare and in my bed,
And in my every **** thought because that's
What happens when you don't see it coming;
It hits you like a ******* train,

And it's the best kind of hit
When you're smacked in the face with the fact that
Someone out there loves you in all the places
You couldn't love yourself, in all of the crevices
Of your body and soul.

It smacks you in the face and then you realize
That it's perfect. He's perfect.
And the only thing I could see coming
Was the fact that I'm leaving,
And losing all of this will hit just as hard, just as deep.

I didn't see us coming,
Not even if you gave me binoculars and a map
So I could have found us out there on the horizon;
Just as the sun sets on the horizon,
We will set too.

I didn't see you being a sunrise
To illuminate my cloudy skies.
I didn't see you being a sunset
That leaves me left alone
In the darkness once again.

I just didn't see us going out like that.
