-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have no idea why life can be so damn hard.
I feel fine when I know the day has come and gone.
In life I find myself feeling so sad.
If you have ever fell down you know that it hurts.

Often I don’t know how feeling sad can help me.
honesty has helped others trust me even though
It’s hard to feel as though one can do what one wants.
Days have gone and troubles have come and now they’ve passed.

I am fine when I know that I can move around.
I have not found peace under the earth and must die.
if my heart can’t find peace then I must go slow. And
It speaks to my piece of mind that I don’t love you.

If ever there was to be a place where love shines
Distance and care have made me more hard to convince.
Images haunt my life so I can’t find love now.
I’m looking at you but I don’t see anything.

I’d like to know where I’ll be in four years. I say
turquoise and blue: a prison that haunts my dreams. It’s
Spears and the time that you threw them at me.
Caught in the trap of feeling down and knowing I’m

It’s so nice to feel as though I really belong.
Playing can be so fun when you have friends to love.
And if I could I would have fun all the time.
I have been going out and now you know me.

Whether you know it or you don’t you see it all.
Times have changed and I don’t have any questions now.
What one wants is ever changing and it’s so hard.
Troubles and days come and gone have taken their toll.

Help me to be happy so I don’t feel so sad.
patience has helped me to see others’ trust. I know
if I can do what others want me to do and
Come and be with those people who feel you are real.

knowing that I can move makes me feel good. Simply
and must I die for you to feel it. You fear me
You must go home sometime even if it seems wrong.
It seems that I don’t care while you ask me why not.

I know that it seems that I can keep it moving.
not find peace of my mind as I try now. I can
Every time I find peace it happens when I sleep.
don’t love you is that what you think. It seems that I

But I know tomorrow’s coming. What I don’t know is when.
What I do know is that I think things through.
How can we be here if we are not breathing here?
Breathing can be so helpful to live a clean life.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I find that it is hard to believe in something.
Believing is hard when you don’t have time to.
Something that I know: is it true and for all time?
Seeing how the world works is a bit strange to me.

Have I been true to you and if not then what now?
Do you know how much I have thought about you and
when you think you don’t know anything you change. It’s
If you don’t know me that well now I don’t know you.

It seems as though we have all gone to sleep again.
Sleeping comes when you are ready to feel like it.
Laying down is so fun for those who choose to sleep.
When I turn to my dreams I feel at one inside.

I know that it can be so hard to be sorry.
If I had to forgive you I wouldn’t try hard.
Feeling so sorry has been my one true lesson.
When I have done you so wrong I always feel sad.

that it has not come back to me feeling. True
When you don’t have time it becomes hard to feel.
feelings that come and are gone always feel wrong. Those
If you don’t have the passion to love me, don’t.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

And I will come to know something about myself soon.
Fear. Trust. These are the things I know that you need.
Kindness seems to be the thing that most people have.
Virtues are not difficult. More understanding.

In my dreams you have done me wrong and you know it.
You are my dream come true and I love to see you.
Should we feel that we really know each other well?
Heartache and love is not really real. Or is it?

I have found that you carry very cute dimples.
Dimples around your lips and cheeks are so charming.
Your lips are charming and I feel that you are cute.
And if I said you were loved I think it would work.

life can bring pain and sorrow to our whole world. And
Seek truth and know that you have found it with my heart.
All of my hopes and my dreams are coming true now.
Vision helps me to learn how to be there for you.

In my heart I know you are the person for me.
True love has helped me to know you. I hope you know.
Every day that we are apart I feel empty.
It is not like me to feel so in love with you.

If I ever find true love then it will bring peace.
As I travel through life I have come to feel good.
And as time has passed over my dreams it has helped.
I have come to know what I want in life. It’s great.

I feel as though it has been so long since I cried.
Even though time seems to have passed quickly I’m well.
Been so long since I have heard from you and I smile.
I fear it has been too long and now you’re gone.
