I love to hear your voice
I love to see you smile
I love to hear you laugh
I love the way you smell
...

A fairy tale story
one with a prince
one with a princess
and a happy ending
...

Did you ever look into the darkness?
Did you ever just sit there and look right into it?
After awhile it will just take over.
The darkness is wise it is also strong.
...

Love comes and love goes.
Somedays fast and somedays slow
Somedays its there and somedays its not
Love is strange in that way.
...

Dream a little dream
you can do anything
you can be anyone
you can be an actress
...

The rain is falling down on me today
I don't understand what i did to deserve this
I used to be so happy
Like the sun was out yesterday
...

Please don't leave me here to bleed!
Please don't go and waste your time on something youdon't care about!
Oh, please don't go pretendong that you're one of them because you're not and never will be!
...

i sit here and watch as you walk away from me...
I sit here and wonder why you left me....
...

I went from loving to hating everything
about you and everything you stand for
but still I can't get away from you
you're everywhere I go and you're everything I hear about
...

You said you were in love
now you say you never were
I was once in love
in love with a boy who had everything
...

I'll be by your side
through the thick and thin
I'll be by your side
no matter what they say or do
...

You risk your life everyday for people you do not know
you have more courage than most of us will have in a lifetime
a whole country rests on your back but you continue
You're a hero in our eyes
...

Watching the world fly by as I sit here
Waiting for you to come for so long
I've turned into a statue sitting here on this bench
waiting for you and watching the world fly by
...

Why did you have to go and say those things?
Why do you always get to me?
Why do you make promises and then breake them?
Why can't you just come out and say what you mean by the things you do and say?
...

Have you ever felt alone?
Have you ever felt like crying?
Have you ever felt like letting go?
Have you?
...

Her wrists are cut and bleeding
her lips are black and chapped
her eyes are red with crying and black with her eye-liner
her heart is broken from a love lost
...

Trips to the moon
secret marriages
vacations in France
undying love
...

you hear the screams
you see the bruises
yet you do nothing to stop it
you hear the pleas and cries
...

Like light and dark
happy and sad
exciting and scary
positive and negative
...

battling for her life but putting on a brave face
fighting a private war but never showing signs of it
she's a soldier but you'll never know it
battle scars, old war stories and tears are things you 'll see from her
...
