Originality

Don't speak
Just listen...
Let's seek
His face again...

God knows we've tried
To do better in the long run
Deep inside, I bite the bullet and cried
Let's escape like a bullet shot by a gun

You're original
Just the way you are
You're beautiful
Let me heal your scar
You're original
Don't listen to negativity
I'm grateful
That you are precious as a daisy

Don't look back 
Go forward with your backpack 
Run the extra mile
Our love got out of style

Heaven knows we've tried for years
To wipe away the constant, wretched tears
Deep down, I want to change for the better
I wrote a letter to you, my awesome go-getter

You're original
Don't ever forget that
You're original
You're the mighty cat, chasing down a pathetic rat
You're an amazing soul
You're always so beautiful
You're original just the way you are
Here you go - wander off, but not too far
