What Is Perfection?

What is perfection? Is it the way you look?
Or just maybe the way you look at me.
You stole my heart just like a crook,
I just hope you cannot see.

I'm scared to death,
I don't know what to do;
I can't catch my breath
When I'm around you.

You say this is normal,
You say I'm alright;
You don't have to be formal,
I won't bite!

Just a brush of skin sends shivers through me,
I melt when you look into my eyes.
All I can see is eternity,
As my past dies.

Is it too soon to feel this way?
Am I going insane?
There's so much I'd like to say,
But is it all in vain?

How can I be sure I'm the only one?
How do I know your feelings are true?
I don't want to have it all come undone,
Because I didn't trust you.

Take Me Away

Take me away from here,
From the noise and the pain.
Somewhere nowhere near;
Away from the stress and the strain.

Take me away from here,
From the shouts and the tears.
Somewhere nowhere near;
I've been hiding for years.

Take me away from here,
From the lonely days and nights.
Somewhere nowhere near;
Let's turn off the lights.

Take me away from here,
From these acts that can't be forgiven.
Somewhere nowhere near;
Some place much like Heaven.

Jaded

Someone to hold me tight,
To laugh all through the night,
That’s what I want most in my life,
To be a mother, best friend, and wife.

I want to know
That someone’s always there for me.
I want it to show;
Our love will live forever, unconditionally.

Sometimes I think it was not meant to be,
I was never supposed to be truly happy.
Because everyone I love just walks away;
No one in my life decides to stay.

My heart is full with love to give,
Just waiting for the one.
I want to sing, I want to live,
To dance out in the sun.

I lost a part of me a while ago;
That part stays hidden, I do not show.
I don’t open up so easily, 
It takes some time to get to know me.

I’m afraid of getting close
Then getting my heart broken.
This is not the life I chose,
I leave things bottled in.

Sometimes so sad and I don’t know why;
All I want to do is cry.
I can’t forgive those that hurt me,
I just wish that they could only see.

The damage they have done to a child,
So innocent and pure.
Now heartbroken and emotions running wild,
So jaded and insecure.

How Do I Tell You?

How do I tell you what I feel inside?
How do I express what I just can't hide?
You make me laugh and smile every day,
You make my painful memories fade away.

It was always winter in my heart,
My life had been torn apart,
But that was before I met you,
That was before I knew.

Now I can't wait to see you,
Though we just said 'goodnight';
It's not fair that I miss you,
It's just not right.

Because I've never felt like this before,
And it scares me half to death;
But I won't be lonely anymore,
If I can just catch my breath!

I Just Wanted You To Know

I just wanted you to know,
That I love you with all my heart.
Maybe it doesn't show,
But I know your life's been torn apart.

I know you're sad, that much is true,
But I know that you'll make it through.
You've got a wonderful family who loves you a lot,
You may think you're alone, but you are really not.

It wasn't your time,
It wasn't right;
Every song has a rhyme, 
You just have to fight.

Your time will come,
Just like many others;
You might find yourself with some
Who can't wait to be mothers.

Everything happens for a reason,
Every year has its seasons;
This sorrow will help you grow;
I just wanted you to know.

Did You Ever Really Care?

I thought you really cared,
I thought your feelings were true;
Now I'm just scared,
Because I have to get over you.

I let you in and opened up to you,
Let my defences down.
I shared my hurt and insecurities with you,
And now my smile has turned into a frown.

I would have given you everything,
Even laid down my life for you;
But I guess, to you, I didn't mean a thing,
And the words you spoke weren't true.

I have to wonder why you hurt me.
Did you ever really care?
How come you could never see?
When I needed you the most, you weren't there.

All I ever did was care about you;
Now there's nothing left for me to do.
Because I'm alone and feeling blue,
Since you ripped my heart in two.

I'Ve Stopped Loving You

I watch through the window as you drive away,
Just like every other day.
We've been shouting and arguing again,
And now all I can do is stare out at the rain.

The crystal-like drops glide down the pane,
As tears slide down my face.
Distance will help ease the pain,
And soon, I'll be leaving this place. 

You can go as far as you'd like and never come back,
Then maybe I can set my life back on track.
The children will forget you and so will I,
It's too bad they won't get to say 'goodbye'.

I know that you'll be back before noon,
Just like you always are,
And I'll forgive you, but soon,
I'll be leaving in the car.

Because I can't let you hurt me anymore.
I've tried to warn you before.
This time we're through,
Because I've stopped loving you.

The Secret

I protect myself by putting up a wall,
I hide my feelings by standing tall.
Nobody knows the mess inside,
The part I try so hard to hide.

It took me a while to trust someone,
To start repairing the damage done.
Every time you touch me, I think of that night
When everything felt wrong, nothing was right.

I’ve got to be strong, say I’ve moved on,
Don’t hold onto things after they’re gone.
But it’s hard to bring up things of the past,
I could have stopped it, but it just went too fast. 

I feel like I’m the one to blame,
And I know that sounds lame.
There’s so much I could have done,
Even though I was not the only one. 

Saying things out loud makes it become a reality,
Something you can feel, something you can see.
I’d rather it be kept hidden, buried deep,
Like a secret I always want to keep.

Your Role

I was such an awful kid,
I'm sorry for everything that I did.
I pushed everyone away
And I'm still doing it, to this day.

I blame you for making me this way.
Maybe things would be different if you had chosen to stay.
But you didn't and it broke my heart.
You left and it tore me apart.

You're the reason I'm afraid of rejection,
Too scared to jump in for fear of deception.
Always waiting for the bad to come,
Expecting happiness but there never is some.

You have made me doubtful and insecure,
I want to love but there is no cure.
The damage you have done is way too great,
All I can do is await my fate.

I'm going to die alone and sad,
Missing the love I never had.
Thinking of you always gets me so mad,
Because this isn't the role intended for a dad.

The Stranger (Part 2)

I'm so scared and confused,
Feeling abandoned and bruised.
I'm so alone and don't know why,
When I think of the stranger, I can't help but cry.

It all happened four months ago,
But I just recently started to show.
When I see myself, I think of that day,
When the stranger threw my life away.

The morning after pill was not an option,
Neither was abortion, but maybe adoption.
I couldn't take an innocent life away;
For his crime, I shouldn't have to pay.

I'm so mixed up, I don't know what to do,
My friends and family don't know what I've been through.
I'm only a child, just barely sixteen,
High School kids can be insensitive and mean.

I'm going to have to tell someone soon,
The baby's due at the end of June.
I don't know what my family will say,
And because of that, I'm dreading that day.

How am I going to raise a baby,
When my parents are still taking care of me?
What am I going to do?
How will I make it through?

It's not fair that I'm forced to make this decision,
But I think I'll put my baby up for adoption.
That way she'll be raised in a better place,
But I will never forget her face.

She'll be in my heart wherever I go,
And I just hope she will know,
That when I lie in bed at night,
I'll think about her and hope my decision was right.
