The Person That I See

You're crying out for something, But I'm not sure what it is. Maybe some love, or acceptance. I can see it in your eyes right when you're about to cry. You're asking for something and i wish i could give it to you, but all I can do is tell you: You're awesome! and I can't get enough you're a different kind of person someone I want to spend all my time with It's wrong how all the people in your life can't see what I see and treat you right. You don't know how unique you are. How I wish I could be more like you. You cover your pain with a laugh I know because we say we don't care and try to be tough. You make yourself sound stupid so no one can see you're torn up inside and lonely. But you're okay. I like what I see. A man who cares for those around him. Causes a raucous so he takes the punishment to protect the one he cares for so they won't get hit. I see a boy, turning into a man Who does great, but doesn't think he can.

What I Want

(a song i wrote) turn up the music up loud I don't want to listen to the sound Of your voice inside my head replaying all those things you said How am I suppose to deal with this? When I was little, I made a list of every kind of pain i wanna miss if i never open my heart, even with a kiss But then you looked me in the eyes Even after all my pretending and my lies You didn't yell or feed me lines You didn't flinch when you saw my other side You won't move, I'll run away You want to talk, maybe some other day Please leave, and don't say.. don't tell me it's okay that I'm okay Don't worry, I'll give you a reason to be punished for this treason we're in each others' lives for a season life will be good and I'll be leavin I'll make it sound like i give up and maybe I'll always stay in this rut you want a princess and I'm not I'll never tell you, but you're everything i want
