My Little Story

I've got a little story for you
Your heart is gonna wanna hear, too
One boy, one girl
Don't just happen into
Happy ever after

The story begins a day
With the sunlight on her face
Nothing can keep her down
'Cause she's got God beside her

Enter then the boy
With a love for love itself
Nothing can hold him back
'Cause he's so dead-set on her

They fall in love
Or so she thinks
And then... he... leaves

He never meant to pull her in
He never meant to break her heart
It wasn't supposed to be like this
But it's not his fault she fell so hard

Part two's the worst, I fear
'Cause the words she hates to hear
Have to leave her lips
Because he thinks he loves her

"This can't end badly - PLEASE!
No! It just happened to me,"
She cried out to her God
Because she knew He'd help her

In her mind
In her heart
She's so... torn... up

She never meant to pull him in
She never meant to break his heart
It wasn't supposed to be like this
But it's not her fault he fell so hard

I've got a little secret to tell
My heart is coming out of its shell
What I told you
Happens to be
Based on me

Sincerely

Yes, you make me happy
But only as a friend, you know
I love you like a brother
'Cause maybe this will end someday
I know I like you
But I wouldn't say I love you
Until I knew I meant it
'Cause I gave my heart away one day
And, sadly, he just kept it from me
I don't want to do this
Again

Yes, my heart is fragile
But I know yours is too, you see
You know what you're feeling, I don't
You gotta talk to me
They say it's too hard
But hanging out and laughing with you
Is enough for me
I'm writing you a letter
I signed it "Sincerely,
The girl who'll never break
Your heart..."

Maybe someday
We'll turn into something
But for now we've gotta hold on tight
To the God Who knows you better
Better than I'll ever
Boy, will you look in His eyes?
He'll say

I have always loved you
And I always will

Take my hand, I lead you
Wherever I need you
Trust me and I'll watch you fly

Beloved Summer

This summer will never be the same
Without you
When we leave, I'll just be glad I came
I came with you

I know you're sick of living
Alone and never dreaming
But I want you to stay
So remember the

Sweaty plastic sticking to thighs as you laugh
At bad jokes in the car 'cause you don't wanna leave
And you know that we're all just dying to be
On the road, but we can't work up the courage to go

These hallways will never feel like home
Without you
An empty stage I'll have to play alone
Do I have to?

I know you're sick of living
Alone and never dreaming
But in the end I'll say
Please remember the

Sweaty plastic sticking to thighs as you laugh
At bad jokes in the car 'cause you don't wanna leave
And you know that we're all just dying to be
On the road, but we can't work up the courage to go

These inside jokes will never leave
But I'll miss you
In my heart you'll stay and always be
I love you

I know you're sick of living
Alone and never dreaming
I'll let you fly away
Just remember the

Sweaty plastic sticking to thighs as you laugh
At bad jokes in the car 'cause you don't wanna leave
And you know that we're all just dying to be
On the road, but
Sweaty plastic sticking to thighs as you laugh
At bad jokes in the car 'cause you don't wanna leave
And you know that we're all just dying to be
On the road, but we can't
So we just say it ain't so

Alicea (Open Your Eyes)

I see you walking around quiet
Like you're some kinda nervous
But I know you and that's not you
Open your eyes, girl
The world's gonna love you

They can't see what I see
Until they let you be
All you are to me

I may not be a handsome prince
I may not be your first kiss
But I know I love you even more
When I talk to you, my abs get sore
When I see your smile, I want to cry
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know why
I know it's not the same
But you finally have a song for your name

I see you living life, laughing loud
Loving like there's no time left
With your dreams big and your heart full
There's nothing that you can't do

You can't be what I see
Until you let them see
All you are to me

I may not be a handsome prince
I may not be your first kiss
But I know I love you even more
When I talk to you, my abs get sore
When I see your smile, I want to cry
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know why
I know it's not the same
But you finally have a song for your name

You finally have a song for your name

Rewrite of "Jonny & Jess" - Lights

Your heart will get us there. I know I'll have to wait.
We'll drive, not walk 'cause you know that I hate
The city when it rains, and it does it all the time
But I'll thank you everytime.
You love my face, you're there regardless of my mood.
We learn to talk it over 'til it's smooth.
It really makes you brave 'cause I do it all the time
And I love you 'cause you're mine

So, talk to me and make me feel fine
I hope you can all the time
Forgive me if i'm ever on my knee
Kiss me if I'm mad at mommy
Love me even if I'm a mess
Take me as I am, bad or best
Daddy, love me

There are a couple things we don't always agree
On what to do or who I'm gonna be
But I'm willing to change for the sake of me and you
Cus' you know what to do
I try to think of how my life would probably be
Without you I would feel so unhappy
'Cause you balance me out - I'm the minus to your plus
When its just the two of us

So, talk to me and make me feel fine
I hope you can all the time
Love me even if I'm a mess
Take me as I am, bad or best.
Forgive me if i'm ever on my knee
Kiss me if I'm mad at mommy
Love me, Daddy

Forgive me if I'm ever on my knee
Kiss me if I'm mad at mommy
Love me even if I'm a mess
Take me as I am, bad or best
Daddy, love me
