Can't Photograph the Inside That Counts
I've been trying to work on myself
On my mind
On my heart
On my interior
But no one sees that
You can't photograph how pure a heart is
Or how smart a mind is
How good of a person you are

I Want To Cry
I want to cry
I want to let it out

A bottle of sadness

Scared to Fall in Love

And no one's there to catch me
What if I give them the world
And they ask for the universe
What do I do if falling in love

Her face
The way she laughs
The way she talks

Time passes, and with it so do I
I stayed up until midnight with my brother
in that horrible hotel room in North Carolina.

Crying in a stadium
Swallow your tears.
No crying in public.
Why are you surprised?

He’s the angel

“Is that what you’re wearing”
She says
Not as a question
But a judgment
A cold declaration
That I’m doing something wrong

The girl who never falls
It's hard
to put yourself out there,

it's scary to take off your coat,
