I Convinced Myself
You entered my life without consent
I didn't ask for you and I didn't need you
But I found I was thinking of you
Before I knew it, I convinced myself
I wanted you.
But this is all one-sided
My single dream of you
I saw more than was there
and before long I convinced myself
I needed you.
The dream grew to an

It Was Real For Me
One minute I was convinced
we were definitely in love
In haste we fell...
Yet you dropped me just as fast
You didn't even think before
breaking my heart
It was over in an instant
Trauma was your parting gift
And with how quick you dipped
I'm convinced...
you didn't cry for me
I'm convinced...
you didn't feel a thing
This unforseen plot twist
derailed my dreams
And it oh

Why I Convinced My Daughter To Sue
My fourteen year old daughter was the star of a children's TV show.
But because she grew large breasts, they decided to let her go.
They said that because of her growth spurt, It would be inappropriate for her to be on a children's show.
They said they were sure that I would understand but I was furious

Whom To Be Convinced
We strive against the stream
Each moment farther from the shore
Where life’s young fountains gleam
Each moment fainter wave the fields
I don’t remember ever saying yes just no
I am searching for my own body
Not the one I was told is so
I want to be always open
I have ignored you for a year
I have known your name for

You Are Whatever You Are Convinced You Are
I am an old soul, I thought you should know
A lot older than my body will ever show.
I am the truth and the truth is within me
If you look inside then you to can be.
I'm not saying I'm special or gifted
Just that my mind has opened and my conscious has shifted.
God or man it's your

Convinced
As the rest of the world moved on to nowhere anywhere they may find it
I stayed behind stuck in the hole I dug myself,
convinced that the bottom held all the answers.

Not Convinced and Blistering In the Flame
no está convencido y formación de ampollas en la llama
cantando una canción de seis peniques
saber de dónde salió
cepillando la peor de las cosas
y deseando tener más tiempo para llorar
ver todas las arenas del tiempo
caer a través de las manos como si se estaban pagando
raspando su piel como si todo se iría
como si hubiera oportunidad de

Convinced Heart
You might look at me
think I'm young and sweet
but where there should be tenderness
and innocence
lounges a body of biterness.
I don't believe in anything.
I don't believe in anything.
When their young wives age will they still love them?
I've seen nothing of the kind yet.
Does a decade mean anything anymore?
Or is it just a destination to pass and

Just Convinced
From the top of my head to the bottom of my of my feet,
this girl right here is simply unique.
People tease and say I'm conceited,
but I say I'm just convinced.
I need no one to tell me how good I look or how beautiful I am,
and

Is This Really Me? (Convinced)
she stands in front of the mirror. why can't anyone see her?
she's hurt and she's scared, no ones ever there.
she thinks about maybe taking her very last wink...because she's convinced that
nobody cares
She thinks about tomarrow, it doesnt matter to her.
all she sees is this image in the mirror and wonders, "is this really me?"
