- verse 1 - Did I ever stand a chance, or was I foolish from the start. Did I set myself up, for everything to fall apart. Did I hold on to tightly, as you were letting go....

&quot;What is family?<br /> They were the people who claimed you. In good, in bad, in parts or in whole, they were the ones who showed up, who stayed in there, regardless. It isn&#039;t just about blood relations or sharing chromosomes, but something wider, bigger. We have many families over time. Our family of origin, the family we created, as well as the groups you move through while all of this was happening; friends, lovers, sometimes even strangers. None of them are perfect and we can&#039;t expect them to be. You couldn&#039;t make any one person your world. The trick was to take what each could give you and build a world from it.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> - Lock and Key.

~Make a wish, it&#039;s up to you, find the strength inside, and watch your dreams come true, you don&#039;t need a shooting star, the magic&#039;s right there in your heart, close your eyes, believe, and make a wish~ (yes it&#039;s from a song :D)
