well I decided to be independent
decided to forget about you
and all that we had, or rather, didn't have
I deleted all of our messages
threw away all of our notes
that were yellowed and aged
just like our love
I deleted your number
with a surge of fierce determination
but how do I erase
all these scars you left behind?

Stick and stones may break my bones,
but words cut through toughened skin.

Dear you
I loved you so much
maybe a little too much
and if you want the truth
I still do
It hurts to see you happy
hurts to know that
you don't miss me the way I miss you
I just want you to know
that I'm always here
waiting for you
And no matter what you do
no matter what you get into
no matter where you go
or what you say
I still love you
And I guess I always will

He's afraid of rejection
so he doesn't try
He's afraid of the bullies
so he doesn't cry
He's afraid of isolation
so when they ask, he lies
He's afraid of his teachers
afraid they will pry
He's afraid of his family
of the if's and why's
He's so afraid
of what they might think
that he's forgot
to live his life

Hug me tightly, take my breath away,
From all the beautiful words in the world,
Pick the best ones and say,  
Stay with me everyday ,
Collect your trust and upon me lay,  

When you walk passed me smile at me,
To help me exist to help me be,  
Reaching you I would swim the deepest sea,  
We are young now and we are free,  

Your hug is home,
Your hug is fire,  
Without your hug I'm homesick,  
Without your hug I'm cold,  

My life was dark until you brought light,  
My life was wrong until you made it right,  
When you're out of my sight,
It's always night,
With you sun shines brighter than bright,  

I'll tell you now, I'll tell them too,  
My heart belongs to someone and that's you.
