Living For Today

by ericka   Feb 27, 2006


Everyday it gets harder to try to be right
Wondering what youre going to with your life day and night
Decisions to be made that only you can make
Wondering who you really are in this world full of fakes
Knowing that nothing is perfect and trying to accept it
Losing loved ones and falling to pieces by the bit
Never knowing when your time will come to be called by Him
Trying to make the best of your life and hanging in there by a limb
Its hard to do what will make you happy because of what people will think
Afraid that you will miss something important in just one blink
To find yourself is something only you can do
Find who the real you is and just be true
Live for the moment and dont worry about the next day
Tomorrow may never come so tell your loved ones what you need to say
Open up your heart and let the real you show
Dont be afraid, sometimes you just need to let go
Trying to life for today isnt so easy and youll find that out
Youll learn what it means to just be you and what lifes really all about
It takes time to overcome heartaches and losing the ones close to you
But never let life get the best of you: just open up and be true
Youll learn that girls cause drama and guys are confusing
Youll learn that people judge you and lifes abusing
But you just keep on going and keep your head held high
You put on a fake smile and pretend youre getting by
You know your hearts breaking yet dont dare let your cover be blown
You make someone elses day even it you cant make your own
Youll have friends come and go
But the most important are those that let their love show
He comes and holds you when youve been shedding tears
Tells you he loves you, and then everything seems clear
Knows you better than anyone; knows how you feel by the look in your eyes
Knowing that without him you wouldnt possibly get by
This is the friend that makes you live for today
The friend that makes you who are and makes your problems go away
The friend that makes the world seem to disappear when youre in his arms
You live to see his smile, the smile that carries his charm
You can break down and cry right in front of him and not care
Secrets, promises, and dreams is what you share
He keeps you going and living for the moment in this world of hate
Hes your best friend and your soul mate
