Like the moon,
i'll step behind you,
let your sun shine bright.

A simple soul could see that you're no good for me. but you're the only one i see.

I'm the type of girl that can be so hurt, but can still look at you & smile, the type of girl who is willing to brighten your day, even if i can't brighten my own.

Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the butt. And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. Head on, guns blazing. De Nile. It's not just a river in Egypt, it's a freakin' ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it?

The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world.

See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you. And once in a while, people may even take your breath away

It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale is slightly different than your dream. The castle, well it may not be a castle. And it's not so important that it's happily ever after as just that it's happy right now.

I love you, in a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me, choose me, love me.

Knowing is better than wondering. Waking is better than sleeping. And even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.

We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally learn.
