If it's not real You can't hold it in your hand You can't feel it with your heart And I won't believe it
But if it's true You can see it with your eyes even in the dark -paramore

you care for me
give me a home
but you resent me

you're not loving
you hate her
as much as you hate me

my friends are my ohana
my family
you are nothing

so i ask you
what is family
because you haven't shown me
