you call me pretty and take my hand
with your bright eyes
and warm inviting smile
you pick me up
and spin me around
and kiss me so gently
my cheeks flush as my heart races
you hold me tight in your arms
my world freezes in this moment
as the real world moves on
never knowing what it feels like to be here
with you,
this can't really be healthy

I guess you never knew me at all
because you obviously don't understand
how positively ignorant you are.
expecting me to tell you everything
when you tell me nothing
I'm not gonna miss you
this impact you have on my life
is faltering
and it will fade
sweet and slow
how could you expect so much more
when you're giving so little
to someone who you claims means so much
I kinda hate you.

You help me stand up straight and tall
even though I'm feeling small

you keep me confident and strong
even though I'm barely holding on

my backbone says i'm the only one
too bad he doesn't have one

My world is a beautiful place
it rains
it snows
the wind whips
the water flows
everything is so alive

Your world is dark
too cold
too hot
too wet
too dry
everything is hollow

but,
we seem to live in the same world
so why don't you come closer
come look what at what I'm seeing

let go of your stress
let go of your negativity
let go of your anger
breathe in this world

come look through my eyes
because in my eyes
you're just as beautiful
as the world around

no matter if it rains
no matter if it snow
even while then wind whips
even as the water flows

I'll never forget the beauty I see in you
I just hope one day
You can see this beauty too

My heart's on my sleeve
I'm running with the wind

I don't know where I'm going
because I haven't gotten there yet

but my hopes are high as moutains,
my dreams as big as oceans

look again at the heart on my sleeve
it's armoured,

stronger than it's ever been
so come on baby,

take your best shot

Stranded,
or so I feel
no communication
or so it seems

you're no where to be seen
no one is
but that's fine with me

here, I can finally be myself
open my soul
scream,
cry,
dance,
sing,

No one around to see me for who I am
but that's okay,
'cause I kind of like being with  me
and honestly
you don't really have to.
