Sunny Weather

 I don't deserve to live

But I deserve This life.

I shouldn't be surprised

When it cuts me like a knife.

What did I ever do

To deserve something better?

I can't always expect it

To be warm and sunny weather.






Perfect

 There's a thousand lovely faces
Smiling at you from the screen,
All a manufactured perfect
My flesh just can't obtain,
And I can't help but wonder
If their animated charms
Are the reason that it's been so long
Since you held me in your arms. 

Worthless

I recognize this pain.
I've been here before.
I didn't think that I
Would feel worthless anymore.
Something feels different.
Something that I can't ignore.
I didn't think that I
Would feel worthless anymore.
There's a pressure in my heart
Like it's about to break.
I take a little more
When I've had all I can take.
I can't see you unhappy,
I don't make you smile like before.
I didn't think that I
Would feel worthless anymore.

You Are My Sunshine

 You are my sunshine
When the sky is full of clouds.
You are my blue skies
When the rain is pouring down.
I wish that I had known
Back then what I'd have now.
When the storm cleared away,
There was you.
There was you.
I couldn't see the silver
When all the clouds were gray.
I couldn't see the summer
When the leaves had blown away.
I couldn't see a reason
To keep living that way,
But when the storm cleared away,
There was you.
There was you.
You're every shining star
At the end of the day.
You are my warm shelter
When I am afraid.
You hold the avalanche
Of fears at bay.
When the storm cleared away,
There was you.
There was you.
When the storm cleared away,
There was you.

Insecurities

 Every game you play,
Every movie that we see,
I wonder if you think those girls
Are prettier than me.
Who wouldn't think those girls
Are prettier than me?
The number on the scale
Isn't one I'd like to be.
The face in the mirror
Isn't one I like to see. 
I wonder if you think those girls
Are prettier than me.
Who wouldn't think those girls
Are prettier than me?
We spent time together;
Now we never have time free.
There used to be two of us
Then two turned into three. 
Do you think that I'm as pretty
As I used to be?
I know I'm not as pretty
As the girls on our tv.
Do you think all those girls
Are prettier than me?
Who wouldn't think those girls
Are prettier than me?
