No matter how hard I try
to break this feeling I have towards you
I can't seem to just pass it by
why is this something I can't undo?
You laugh aloud, when others are near
but when alone, and by your lonesome
that's never what I hear...
You put up such pride
but when I look into those eyes
I see all the things you hide
and wonder... why all the lies?
How can such a seemingly strong person
digress from such things when given a moment of peace -
letting her feelings constantly worsen?
These acts must cease!
I beg of you, tell my why
You continue on the way you do
when you give such good advice... to this yourself you must apply.
Think of your life anew.
Take hold of the good things! Banish the bad!
Trust me, I'm sure that if you don't
you'll go completely mad.
Although sometimes I'm sure you won't.
Why can't I figure it out?
Just WHAT is it that makes you tick?
Why do people love you -ohh I want to shout!
Tell me your secrets! Make it quick!
The person you are...
is the person I so wish that I could be.
You are better than me by far
Though I'd never admit it, you see,
for the envy I hold towards you
clouds vision that once used to be clear as can be...
I want to know all your being
because what everyone sees in you now
I know, that's not what they should be seeing...
I wish I could break you, dammit, I wish I knew how!
But alas... for now,
I'll give you a bow...
You've won this round.
