She was a masterpiece
Not perfected by a facade of brushstrokes
Or a myriad of different colours,
She was a masterpiece
Because she could appreciate her imperfections
Every drip of paint onto the canvas,
Every smudge of ink on the page,
Every incorrect mixture of colours,
She could appreciate that she wasn't perfect
And that made her
A masterpiece.

I miss not caring about what the world thought of me
Never mattered who saw, I always did what made me happy
Now everyone judges who you are
But sometimes society pushes it too far

I miss being so joyful and full of cheer
I was happy, even if bedtime was near
Now everyone just knows how to stress and worry
There's no time for leisure 'cause we're all in such a hurry

Back then people used to play with dolls and such
Now people play with hearts and see sad faces too much

Oh, I miss being so carefree
Never mattered what the world thought of me
I was always so happy

But then you're thrown into this cruel place
Funny yet sad how you think this was something you'd never face
I remember how I used to say "I want to be older" all the time
And now that I grew up, I think, *Man, how wrong was I...

She is the sun,
And I the moon.
Her beauty was immeasurable,
And her sunny day warmth,
Was that of a volcano.

She is the sun,
And I the moon,
We came from different worlds,
Held different times
And lived different lives.

She is the sun
And I the moon,
And every morning,
I would have died
Just so her beauty shone.

She is the sun
And I the moon,
And with every breath I drew
I only ever knew,
There was no girl comparable.

She is the sun
And I the moon,
But as I lay weary eyes at sunrise,
Her spectral figure appears in my dreams,
And I lived for that moment.

She is the sun,
She was my sun.
My light
And my day.
Till she went away,
And I, the moon
Wandered around
Aimlessly at night,
Staring at stars.

When I finally convinced myself that you loved me,
I could feel the hesitation that sits amongst your soul,
How can you ever love a being built with ugly?
How could one ever love broken pieces rather than a whole?

I could hear the hissing noise of your mind
As you told me you loved me-
With each day, each word spoken-
It became a pinpoint to where I lost myself.

AND OH HOW I THOUGHT THAT WE WERE TRULY IN LOVE,
BUT THEN LIFE COME ALONG,
RUDLY GIVING ME A SHOVE,
I THEN REALIZED
THAT I WAS WRONG,
I GUESS IT WAS JUST THE STARS IN YOUR EYES,
THAT HAD ME HYPNOTIZED
FOR
SO
LONG,
AND OH HOW I THOUGHT WE WERE TRULY IN LOVE.
"we're just kids, lookin' for love"

Now I know that nothing
that happened
mattered
But with time those memories
will be forgotten and
tattered

Now I know that you weren't
worth my tears when I was
blue
*None of it mattered, but now I
know that neither did
you.

Before I'd give up everything for you
And I thought you felt the same too

Funny how a sentence, even a word, can change it all

Maybe I have realized too late  
But now I know that your pretty face
Was not worth the wait.
