No one wants to believe
So we just sit and grieve
This should never have happened
And the weight of pain cannot be lightened
...

I thought that it was right
That your love for me was true and bright
But I guess I was wrong
And I feel like giving up, I’m not that strong
...

...

Just because I’m a teen
Don’t judge or treat me wrong
Don’t pick me last because I’m not as strong
Don’t stereotype me because of a song
...

Snow flutters over silently
Like the beautiful wings of a butterfly
It lands on the ground, and rests on a tree
By floating from the heaven’s high
...

We talked all summer
We were always together
You said you loved her
I said you could do better
...

Every day, lives are lost
Part of war, that’s the cost
Their jobs are to fight and defend
For most of them, it’s the beginning of the end
...

It hurts to be told you’re not allowed back home
Not able to return to path that you had been shown
It feels like you’ve suddenly been stabbed in the heart
You want to cry but you tell yourself not to start
...

In reality, what is love?
Is it spiritual like a soaring dove?
Does it always fit perfect like a glove?
Or keep you going with a push and shove?
...

Not knowing when you'll meet again
Unaware of what is around the bend
Missing him, you know it hurts
Living everyday, it only gets worse
...

As truth sets in and confusion is gone,
I begin to understand what exactly is going on
Never is there only one, leaving hurt to set in
And lost is my common sense, to which I sin
...

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of 'the one'
He, who would always be there to call me hun
Who opens my eyes to a whole new aspect of life
And would someday wanna make me his wife
...

What is the meaning of love to you?
Does it overthrow the pain he puts you through?
Are you going to look at me again and say?
I will leave him but I just can’t do it today.
...

You look around, day in day out
There is always pain, without a doubt
People fight and die everyday
Children, bloody and bruised, never play
...

I never expected us to ever be
I never thought that you’d want to be with me
You changed my life, and that is for sure
You saved me from the scars that my heart once bore
...

In the dead of the night
Your smile is a needed sight
But it is my fault you are not here
You’re gone and that was my one fear
...

I could not believe that you were there
By my side, fingers running through my hair
How did I get to be there, with you at my side?
Behind a barrier, I had always found a place to hide
...

A tear rolls down her cheek
as he turns, she feels weak.
Why does he have to go.
Even he does not know.
