A Crush
A Crush
I love being around him
I want to be with him
He makes me laugh
He makes me smile
All the while I think of him
It’s a weird kind of crush
It continues to grow
It never stops
Why can’t I stop thinking about him?
He has a girl
I have no chance
I only wish he could be mine
I feel so silly
Just being happy when he walks by
I really wish he’ll be mine
Me for Me
Me for me
I feel alone, though people are there
Am I invisible, or do they just not care
I have a lot of friends, but they don’t seem mine
I would like to say I am popular
But does it really matter
Do I have to be someone else to fit in
People need to like me for who I am
My looks aren’t great
My personality is better
I am trying to tell you in this letter
Everyone is different
And you have to accept Me for Me
It’s Something
It’s Something
It’s something about the way that I want it to be
Not even having to be, but I want it to
It’s something about the way that he makes me smile
All the while, not even trying to
It’s something about the way that he makes me feel
It can’t be real
It’s something about the way that he walks right by
That look in his eye, I want it for me
It’s something about the way that I seem to melt
Whenever he is near
It’s something about the way that I want him to be mine
All the time
It’s something about the way that my heart just flies
Whenever he says “Hi”
It’s something about the way that I want it to be
Not even having to be, but I want him with me
It’s something about the way that I wish it were true
For him too.
I remember
I remember
Do you remember the times we used to have
The times we used to share
Do you remember how we use to do things together or
How you use to care
Do you remember when I was everything to you
Do you remember the way things use to be
Do you remember that I’m still here
I’m not little anymore but I’m still yours
Do you remember? I remember.
Dreams
Dreams
Sometimes I feel
That they are real
If only they were
So I can be everything
And not be waiting
For them to come true
And be there with you
My dreams don’t stop
Nor does my heart
My dreams seem so real
The way that I feel
I just want to be
With you next to me
Somewhere out there
Somewhere out there
Somewhere out there, there is a person for me
Somewhere there is a man who will love ‘me for me’
Somewhere someone will find me
Somewhere sometime I will find them
Some way I’ll be happy
Somewhere I’ll be happily in love
Somewhere someday he’ll be mine
I wish that somewhere, sometime, someday, some way
Was now, here, with me!
Breaking to Pieces
Breaking to pieces
Pieces are falling right out of my heart
Why can’t I stop them, they’re making me hurt
Little things shouldn’t matter, but they are the worst
The pieces are falling one after another
Who can I tell if I can’t tell my mother?
What should I do to make me feel better?
I feel so alone, so hated and clear
No one can see me, I’m not even here
This is the reason for all of my heart
Breaking to pieces and falling apart
Daddy’s House
Daddy’s house
When we were number one,
Daddy’s house was so much fun
We could always get new toys,
My life was full of happiness and joys
When we would walk around,
I was so close to the ground
But when daddy held my hand
I felt as tall as anyone can
Daddy made me feel so perfect,
I would never have to be different
My life with Daddy was seamless, but
Now it really is hopeless
We no longer are number one
His house is anything but fun
We don’t get anything, not even toys
Only life outside his house has joys.
Love me
Love Me
Love me please, hold me tight
I need you to love me with all of your might
I can’t stand the feeling of this lonely night
The fear of no one loving me
Has got me looking hard to see
Could there be someone out there to love me?
Love me, want me, love my soul
When I am loved I’ll feel whole
But no one has done so for a while, I know
So please, oh please
Can you not see?
All I need is for you to LOVE ME
No life alone
No life alone
All is good, but not alone
Life is lame when on my own
What to do with no one near
Can’t keep happy, please get here
I am so bored with nothing done
Much to do, but none is fun
Even if I am all grown
I have no life when I’m alone
Jaded
Jaded
The fire is burning high
All of my hopes have faded
I’m plummeting from the sky
My life, it has been graded
I’ve failed and don’t know why
The anxiety is getting over rated
It’s so bad I don’t want to try
I feel incredibly JADED
Miss me?
Miss me?
Would anyone really miss me?
I say no
He says him, of course
But I don’t think so
Get lost in your games
You’ll be fine
You don’t need me around
That’s the bottom line
No one would notice
Their life goes on
I’m forgotten now
What would matter if I’m gone?
If I wasn’t so afraid
I would go
Because would anyone really miss me?
I think no
