I Know Dear

Scatter the pieces across the floor
september will come soon enough
you say you dont need them anymore
i know dear, it can be rough

you say that you love him
but do you really mean it
or it just another scrap on the trim
just another scratch on the paint, see it?

leave it to your heart to decide
in your mind, in your soul, it is all up to you
if it all darkens you can say you tried
i know dear, he loves you too

late night telephone calls, and i love yous
a hug and a kiss, then he leaves
does this mean hes yours forever, just you two
or that you just left your heart on your sleeve?

step on the petals of your pride
dont let your guard down
let his feelings and yours collide
i know dear, i know how you\'ve cried

you owe yourself some peace and time alone
just take a break from reality, from everyone
lay on your bed of thoughts, sit on your throne
go outside and feel the bright shining sun

i know you\'d give the world for him
but make him give the world for you
make him love you the way you love him
i know dear, you want this too

just another snapshot in your book
in your book of you and your love
take back what the others took
but you have to stand up, rise above

your friends call you crazy
but you love him and thats all that matters
dont let them get you down, dont be lazy
i know dear, they want you to shatter

you\'re not as strong as others
so you cry where no-one can hear or see you
but your close friends, they know, none other
they dont want you to cry, he doesnt even want you to

in the rain, you sit
begging for sometihng to come about
and to the lord, you decide to commit
i know dear, as you scream and shout

when you get home in your rainsoaked clothes
he sits there patiently, waiting for you to be in his arms
your love for eachother seems them to grow
you lay there softly, out of harm

your break will come about, and life will brighten
you, your friends, and your love, happy
you no longer need to be frightened
i know dear, i gets hard, i dont want you to be unhappy
