I'm the sister keeping the tears away
I'm the daughter pretending that I'm okay
I'm the girlfriend acting like everythings alright
But I'm me when I cry myself to sleep each night..

You ask me if Im okay
Im just great! I say
And I quietly watch you leave
With her holding on your sleeve
But before you are gone
I put these glasses on
Not cause the suns in my eye...
But so you cant see the tears
That Im trying not to cry

There's always that girl
Whose dying inside
With tear-stained cheeks
That she tries to hide
She cries for the boy
Who she can't resist
The one that doesn't
Even know she exists

"I dont care cause I'm over you
I don't need you, I'll make it through
No its not tears, it's just the rain
And I really don't feel any pain"
But as you leave, I start to cry
Cause what I said... Is all a lie

Love is when you'd do anything to hold them in your arms. But at the same time, you would have a broken heart, tearstained cheeks, and die alone... and that would be okay with you, just as long as they were happy. THAT is real love.

I want to go back to the days when
All of the boys had cooties again
When only chocolate hearts could break
And bandaids could fix the cuts we'd make
When mommy could wipe the tears from my eye
And you weren't there to make me cry..

And there you are, kissing in the hall

I can feel the tears as they start to fall

I know you see me against the wall

But the worst part? ...You don't care at all

Maybe if I was perfect in every single way
Maybe if I always had the right things to say
Maybe if I was prettier than any girl could be
Maybe then.... you would notice me

We just broke up and I still love you
Now I watch you with somebody new
But I won't cry and beg for you...
Cause one day, I'll find somebody too

I watch my friend tell me that she's glad that I've moved on. "I'm proud of you for getting rid of him like that. Who needs him anyway?" she says, and walks away. A tear trickles down my cheek as I whisper... "I do"
