dont play with me

If you're going to play,

Don't play with me...

Go find someone else,

someone else who cares enough to trust,

who doesnt want to get hurt

by someone they barely know.

Quit colouring my life for me,

I'll be all the colours I want to be.

Let me do it myself,

because, believe me, i can.

theres more to life than popularity

Thank you.
I had more fun with you today in half an hour than I have ever had with him.
Thank you for being there when no one else was.
It was great to know that people care about more than popularity and reputations.

_______________________________________
Don't worry about him.
He should come around eventually,
along with every one else.
Learn to expect that.
People change and don't really care what you think.
They say they are your friend but really, they can't stand you.
They forget about you eventually.
That is what makes them worth no more than a grain of sand to you
And the quicker you work that out, the better.
One diamond is worth so much more than a thousand grains of sand.
Remember that.

Altogether, very good day.

Realised that some people aren't what they seem.

I learnt a lot.

Also did sectionals with the National Youth Orchestra.

why should you mean anything to me?

I'm giving up.
Coz I'm too cool for you
And all the stupid things you do.
I'm living life the way I should have done,
Back when I was too busy
looking at the inconsequential things.
You're nothing to the world.
So why should you mean anything to me?

thank you for making me who i am now

Thank you for making me smile,
And changing my life,
Thank you for everything
You didn't even know you did.

Thank you for showing me
What my life is missing,
Thank you for teaching me
How it feels to be truly envious.

Thank you for making me see
How I much need my best friend,
Thank you for being there
Whenever anything goes wrong.

Thank you for showing me
The silver lining on the cloud,
Thank you for making me know
What it's like to miss someone.

Thank you for making me see
How easy life can be,
Thank you for making me
Who I am now.

running to see if you care enough

Thanks again.

I feel like i can tell you anything

But why don't you trust me~?

Is it because I'm reckless like that~?

I might seem like it

But i'm not really the girl you think I am

Im always hiding just out of view,

Hoping you'll find me,

Instead of commiting myself,

and hurting after...

I'm running to see if you care enough to chase after me~

just like a tattoo

Thank you so much...

for everything...

i wish that when you ask why...

i could say because i wanted to...

but i can't...

and i don't even know why~

All i know is to keep smiling

When it hurts inside,

And to keep on going

Though I'm on the outside.

But you make life better

Whenever you're near,

When love starts to hurt me,

I wish that you'd appear.

And whenever I ask,

You're always ready,

Finding a way

To keep this boat steady.

But do you really know me?

Do you know that I need you?

You'll always be part of me,

Just like a tattoo.
