Will I ever be strong enough

They say I'm so happy, they cry about their stuff
But every word of theirs affects me
Will I ever be strong enough?

I always apologize, even when they are wrong
Because if I argue, they'll leave me alone

It's funny, because, I've got an opinion
But with them, I keep shut
Afraid their 'forever' might turn out to be a bluff
Will I ever be strong enough?

They hurt me and i said sorry
Because what if I stood up, and they left?
Will I be strong enough
To let go of them yet?

I don't complain to them, I listen to theirs
No one's there to listen to mine, I'm trying to be tough
But will i ever be strong enough?

They broke me, I put myself back together
They demotivated me, and so many young dreams i gave up

They think only they can hurt, they think only they are right
But everyday, there are battles i fight
I take away your burden momentarily, but who'll make my shoulders feel light?
I keep on thinking,
Will I ever be strong enough?, every night

I get attached easily, get tied up in cuffs
They treated me harshly, and I found reasons to support their injust
God, will i ever be strong enough?

I am strong, I'm still here, 
Though life was rough
But will i ever be strong enough?

Take me on a date

Dates in the bookstore
Hiding behind shelves
Take me to a hotel
Where we both know how it'll end

Take me for a ride in the city
Windows down, the air's chilly
Your hand on my thigh, calling me pretty
Let's ride till we both get dizzy

Take me to a park 
Where we can sit close and chat
Enjoy the sunset
And get lost in the dark

Take me to a cafe
Cold coffee in the heat of May
Dressed in sundresses and shorts
Now let's go ride a horse

Take me to a sports club
I know you love to play
Let's play together 
And I'll show you I too am good in the game

Take me to a beach
Throw me in the sea and start a water fight
Then let's lie down and stargaze, 
And end the night

Take me home
Where be both are alone
Let me breathe in your cologne
And stay with me till the sun has shone

Because forever's not long enough
I want you for some more
If it's possible, 
Then let's go on dates forever, cuz I'll never get bored
