"Ty"

June 17, 2007

When I first saw you,
I thought you were way out of my league,
That you’d look at me
And say “ew.”

I was wrong
Unless you’re being fake
‘Cause you’re talking to me by choice
And I’m wide awake.

I never woulda guessed;
Never foreseen
You ever talking to me,
Being more than just a dream.

"Broken"

Falling apart
But nobody sees
Falling apart
But nobody knows.

All the time
Crumpling inside
Breaking down
With a smile to hide

Piece by piece,
My happiness goes
Bit by bit,
But it never shows.

Look in my eyes
Look behind my smile
Look beyond my happy mask
Look beyond my words.

Just peek a little closer
So that maybe you will see.
Way beyond my green eyes,
Deep inside of me

Don't Judge

You think you really know me,
You think you understand.
That’s impossible, though,
Because the key is in my hands.

Don’t judge me by my clothes,
Don’t judge me by my friends.
Don’t judge me by the path I chose,
‘Cuz you don’t know when it ends.

Maybe I don’t dress like you,
And maybe I’m not your friend
But try learning something new,
Or at least try to pretend.

Walk a mile in my shoes,
Try being me.
Maybe then you’ll understand,
Maybe then you’ll see.
