Me (whoever I seem to be).
I can't remember the reason I keep living
I've lost my identity in the masks
I'm just an actress in another play
And someone else wrote the lines
They're all that I can say
I play another character for anyone who asks
I could be your bestfriend
Or the sweetest girl you ever knew
I could be the perfect daughter
And the most amazing sister too
Thats all I've ever done
Change who I am to suit you
But now it's gonna stop
I'm sick of all this shit
I need to find out who I truly am
I'm sick of being me(whoever I seem to be).

The concept of love.
How to define the consept of love
All I know is what it is to me
To me it is your secret smile
Its your soft kiss good night
Its the way you hold me in your arms
And the ake in my heart when you'renot there
It's knowing no matter how uglie I look
You always think I'm beautiful
No matter how sad I am
One smile from you makes the whole world seem great
To me you are love
And you will always be love to me.

Before I lose my sanity.
So alone
Nothing left to live for
No friends left hereto talk to
Where did they all go?
Why did it have to be me?
Why am I in so much pain?
I dont want your sympathy
I just need your company
I'm starting to go crazy
Being left all alone
It's ment to make me better
But its starting to take its toll
It helps to know there are others out there
But what can I do
There is little I can eat
And I can never get to sleep
Why is it me who is sick?
Haven't I suffered enough?
I've been teased and laughed at
Noonehas ever believed...
Nothing left to live for
No friends left hereto talk to
Where did they all go?
Why did it have to be me?
Why am I in so much pain?
I dont want your sympathy
I just need your company
I'm starting to go crazy
Being left all alone
It's ment to make me better
But its starting to take its toll
It helps to know there are others out there
But what can I do
There is little I can eat
And I can never get to sleep
Why is it me who is sick?
Haven't I suffered enough?
I've been teased and laughed at

I was wrong.
Where are you when I need you most?
I'm always there for you
I give you everything I have
And then you ask for more
You stole my heart
You took my wings
Andyet I can not leave you
I loved you from the start.
I loved you before you knew me
To hear you loved me back
Was all I ever wanted
I thought you were my charming prince
But now I know I thought wrong
I thought you were my everything
But now you've taught me otherwise
But you have already ruined me
You made me love you
I hoped you would love me too
But know I know...
I'm always there for you
I give you everything I have
And then you ask for more
You stole my heart
You took my wings
Andyet I can not leave you
I loved you from the start.
I loved you before you knew me

You made me love you

My secret crush.
There you stand
At the other side of the room
A god in my eyes
Standing amidst a world of mortals
It's breaking my heart to be on the same planet
Let alone in the same room
I found out your name by some fluke
But from that moment on it was ingraved in my heart
Your beautiful face is the first thing on my mind in the morning
And the last thing on my mind at night
You could take over my world
And I wouldn't put up a fight
But you never will
You don't know I exist
You are my secret crush
You are a god, You deserve a goddess
And I'm...
At the other side of the room

Am I invisible
You don't even know I exist
One of the worlds dirty tricks
Find the one I couldn't live without
And make him find another
Am I invisible
'Cause you see right through me
Am I not worth it
'Cause all you see is her
All I ask is you really see me once
and if it's not enough
At least I'll know it's 'cause of me
And not the me everyone can see.

Just one kiss
There's a hole in my heart
From where you once were
It akes for you
It threatens to break again
Until I look in his eyes
And then there's no you,
No heart, no world
Only him and me
I'd give up this world for just one touch
There's no hole in my heart
As my heart's no longer mine
I'm no longer me I'm his
I'd give everything for him and just one kiss.

Cupid.
She was shot by cupids arrow
You were the first thing that she saw
Youdon'tdeserve her
She deserves more.
Cupid must be loosing his touch
To give an angel to the likes of you
She might be an angel
But remember I'm not
If you hurt so much as one hair on her head
I'll give you all that I've got.
Maybe cupid was right
Maybe she can change you
Maybe you can be good to her
And I'll give you that chance
But remember this
If you hurt her that will be your last kiss.

I believe in love
Call me old fashioned if you like
But I believe in love
I know I'll find my charming prince
And have my fairytale ending.
He'll ride in on his noble steed
And sweep me off my feet
He'll be my soul mate
My hero and my one true love.
When he comes he may not be much to you
But to me he'll be everything and more
He will know me for me and not for who I seem to be.
Call me old fashioned if you like
But I believe in love.

Weren't the guy for me
I'm no daughter of Aphrodite
But I'm no monster either
Can't anyone see me for who I am
And not for who I'm not.
You look at all those other girls
You think about what they've got that I don't
Now I'll tell you what I've got
I've got a heart that you've broken again
I've got kindness for even those who hurt me
I've got a smile that could have lit up your life.
But you hurt me one time to many
I want you out of my life
I'll find someone good to replace you
I'll find my charming prince
He'll heal up my broken heart
Some day...
But I'm no monster either
Can't anyone see me for who I am
And not for who I'm not.

That familiar stranger
I see that stranger
All the time
She's boring a hole in my mind
I thought I knew her
Everyone thinks they do
They try to put her in a catagory
But she never fits
She's strange and crazy
She's a wanderer and a misfit
Until you need her
And then she's your bestfriend
She's kind and really cares
But noone knows her
Noone even tries
She wears a million different masks
None know her real face
I see her in the mirror
That familiar stranger.

The broken hearted angel.
Her wings lie spred out on the floor
How could anyone break an agels heart
Tears hide the beauty she was before
She thought he loved her
She thought he cared
She gave him her soul
And he stole her heart
Her love for him consumed her
She doesnt know what to do
Now that he's left her for good
She doesnt know who to be
But the broken hearted angel
Who lies on the floor.
