I'll stay me
I'm not a bad person
 I really don't mean to be
 But I think you'd understand
 If you really knew me
 I watched my dad pull outta the driveway
 I couldn't run fast enough
 After all the years of fighting
 My parents finally gave up
 I watched everyone around me
 Go on with their lives
 I couldn't do that
 I was too scarred to be alright
 I watched my mother fall in love
 I watched my father have stability
 I tried to focus on my life
 To the best of my ability
 It was hard to do
 But I did it
 I finally found my place
 I owe it all to my struggles
 And the tears that  rolled down my face
 I met a boy that I love
 And of course he broke my heart
 But I think he's starting to see 
 That we don't need to be apart
 I'm not scared of love
 Just the things that come with it
 I've never heard of a love story
 Without a goodbye in it
 But I have faith that I can find
 What my parents never did
 And I can find it on the first try
 Settle down and have kids
 I used to be scared of life
 I used to be terrified of death
 But I know that I can find happiness
 And keep it until my last breath
