People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy... and I keep it in a jar on my desk.

The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.

Now that we're here,
It's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes,
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here its so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive and I’m not ashamed to be the person that I am today

Everyone around me keeps falling in love,
Is someone sending me a message from above?,
Maybe loves not meant to be,
Maybe loves just not for me,

I'm supose to be happy all the time,
But why is crying such a crime?,
Everyone's used to seeing one side of me,
They don't know what all I can be,

Making people smile is what I do best,
Smile and be happy; forget the rest,
No one is sad for long when I'm around,
For happiness can always be found,

But when I'm weak and feeling down,
Will everyone leave; will they be around?,
To offer me a caring hand,
To pick me up and help me stand,

Who can comfort me when I'm all alone,
Is everyones heart made of stone?,
I've been there when a friends in need,
But will they return to me the same noble deed?,

When I've fallen down,
Will anyone ever come around?
