It's been a long time My opinions have changed It's been a long while Everything's rearranged It was hard to cope with Now I think I'm doing fine I've grown a taste for the bitter wine I've always trusted you To make good decisions And even when every nerve in my body was screaming I did And it took some time Now I've taken the wheel Looking behind me all those fears disappeared My heart and my head were fighting to the death And then they tied So now I'm fine It's weird being apart When everyone's living in separate worlds But they're happy doing fine So I'll be alright I spoke to my grandma the other day And she said "it's okay to feel this way" and I guess Talking it out made it easier to cope with 'Cause now I'm open As vast as the ocean But I'm not perfect Neither are you There are times I'm singing in blue But for now I refuse Jump out of my head Sing every song Like you are swaying along 'Cause I owe everything to you My heart and my head were fighting to the death And then they tied So now I'm fine It's weird being apart When everyone's living in separate worlds But they're happy doing fine So I'll be alright I'll be alright Alright If I were nothing I'd still be your daughter And if you were nothing I'd still be your family I'm happy you're happy living these years so sparkly It's different but I think it's really good For you My heart and my head were fighting to the death And then they tied Now I'm just fine It's weird being apart when everyone's living in separate worlds But they're happy doing fine So I'll be alright I'm just fine I'll be alright

Dear You 04:03
Dear you You know who you are You've known from the start I wish I'd said sorry for breaking your heart We're still an open wound You and me painted in blue It's been years but it still hurts So now I'm saying sorry with my words 'Cause now I've seen shades of yellow Like rays of glitter forming through the clouds like winter into spring And now I keep imagining Bumping into you on a busy street long enough to say "I'm sorry" Dear you You were always so kind If not a little shy Yet I'd always avoid saying "hi" But now let me explain I was afraid Of making a mistake Hm well I did that anyway But now I've seen shades of yellow Like rays of glitter forming through the clouds like winter into spring And now I keep imagining Bumping into you on a busy street long enough to say "I'm sorry" I'm sorry I always knew I always knew That we were blue We were blue But now I hope Now I hope To heal the wound To heal the wound Dear you I hope you're happy now So if I don't see you around Please take this anomaly And take my apology I want to clear the air Say it all just wasn't fair The blame was put on you But it should be on me too But now I've seen shades of yellow Like rays of glitter forming through the clouds like winter into spring And now I keep imagining Bumping into you on a busy street long enough to say "Hi" I've seen shades of yellow Like rays of glitter forming through the clouds like winter into spring And now I keep imagining Bumping into you on a busy street I'm sorry Sincerely Me

Please 04:21
The days roll into weeks into months Oh please talk to me The silver gleam flowing down stream Falling off the water But it's just me Simple conversations are now in moderation The boots the laughs the setting sun And the poetic words that we both sung Strong articulation now need participation A simple "hello" is all I need or it's goodbye So I plead Please come back to me We'll sit under the setting sun Sit out on your front porch having fun Oh please come talk to me And don't pretend that nothing's up 'Cause we were friends until the end Now we are not These moments were yours and mine Now you're the rhyme I cannot find Lost in the deepest depths of my mind And if I sound too unsure or too preoccupied It's 'cause I cannot find the words in my mind Simple conversations are still in moderation The spring dress the straight hair The moonlight and the summer air Strong articulation still needs participation And I've tried I've wracked my mind But there's no solution Please come back to me We'll sit under the setting sun Sit out on your front porch having fun Oh please come talk to me And don't pretend that nothing's up 'Cause we were friends until the end Now we We'd talk all night 'till there was light About the petty things we thought were rude About the people we knew Twenty-nineteen we were sixteen We could conquer the world and know all there was to know And solve all their was to solve We could fix the whole world you know? But now I've found No no no no no We don't talk anymore So please come back to me We'll sit under the setting sun Sit out on your front porch having fun Oh please come talk to me And don't pretend that nothing's up 'Cause we were friends until the end Now we are not 'Cause it was easy so I beg of you Please

It was ten past two and the sky was blue The light it flew like a flower bloomed It's all the same to me if it's all the same to you And at times it was moving too fast so I cleared the path now it's way too vast and the feelings past I learnt that there was no use But here it's new and it's old as the view out my window in the hills It's warm as the water that brings me to chills It's a poem that was written a hundred years ago 'Cause here I am one human Trying to understand my hand It was ten past one my hands were numb The lights neon it was way too strong And I was feeling like I should be going home And the very next day some near stranger had to say "hey why do you push people away?" I hadn't really seen it like that But it's exactly what I've done in the past But here it's new and it's old as the view out my window in the hills It's warm as the water that brings me to chills It's a poem that was written a hundred years ago 'Cause here I am one human Trying to understand my hand Oo oo oo I'm jumping over the moon Oo oo oo I've got a lot of thinking to do Oo oo oo I'm tired of not seeing it through Oo oo oo I think it's well overdue But here it's new and it's old as the view out my window in the hills It's warm as the water that brings me to chills It's a poem that was written a hundred years ago 'Cause here I am one human Trying to understand my hand Da da da

I have grown since our meeting Since you gave no regard for me Since I gave up my life For your happiness And I curled my wings To set your love free And all for a rose For a love made from a thorn Oh prick my heart My weakness is love I saw all my fears reflected above in your face I saw tears and the need for a rose So you'd be loved by the love you love the most I sang the perfect melody One to serenade the moon While I gave up my life For your happiness And I curled my wings And grew you your rose And all for a love that didn't hold you Just to be tossed my heart thrown away Oh prick my heart My weakness is love I saw all my fears reflected above in your face I saw tears and the need for a rose So you'd be loved by the love you love the most Ooo Oh I was naive enough to believe that you'd say the words "thank you" and she'd love you But she didn't And that selfless generous with love as their weakness little me Was left without a care I just wish you'd cared enough that I cared To give you your rose To give you your love To give you my heart To give you my soul To die for your rose
