I am me
Don't just see
The pain inside
The make believe

I am me
Look away
The torn beliefs
The broken fray

I am me
Childish names
The stones and sticks
The countless shames

I am me
Still remember
The weak and mild
The fallen timber

i gave in today
you are my worst
but best first impression
i gave in today
you were out of sight
but never out of my mind
i gave in today
you were out the door
with all my favorite books
like taking away all that's best in me
i gave in today
i gave in
you let out a sigh
and said you loved me
loved
loved
i gave in today
i gave in

there's something to be said about love
and how it can make you feel like
you're flying
or
burning alive.

Time stopped, and they were freed.

It began, it occurred, it ended.

We met, we danced, I left.

He did not st-st-stutter that day.

We craved, raved, craved more.

Born numb, pure; died filthy, happy.
