Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two... Not matter what I'm doing, I know she's going to catch me when I fall. I've fallen countless times and ever since day one, she's helped through things, physically and mentally. My best friend, Sam.
Where summers lasted longer than, long than we do. He broke my heart over a text message last summer, yet he remains a dear friend of mine. My buddy from the "east side" of the state, Jamos.
When nothing really mattered, except for me to be with you. Every time I'm with my friends, it's a great time. We just forget everything around us and be ourselves. That is something we hardly ever get to do.
But in time we all forgot and we all grew I've lost friendships and that hurts a lot. But the hurt is replaced by the new friends I've made. That makes my heart swell with love And from the pain and love, I've grown up a lot.
Your melody sounds as sweet as the first time it was sung Singing with my friends allows us to connect on a more personal level. It's a way for us to share our love between us. The only words that need to be spoken are the lyrics to get the message across to each other. It's a bond only the best of friends can have and understand.
With a little bit more character for show My acting and dancing as brought me far in my journey through life. Though, I can act like someone I'm not, I know that it isn't the best option. You should be yourself no matter who you are or what you do. Just be prepared to get knocked down.
And by the time your father's heard of all the wrong you've done I've made terrible mistakes in life. So have many of my other friends. They have forgiven me and I have forgiven them and still love them all dearly. This is a key lesson in life: Learn to forgive.
And I'm putting out the lantern, find your own way back home. I'm just going to keep moving like I have been. I'll go my way, you go yours.
I've forgotten how to sing, before I sung this song. For a long while, I wasn't happy. Finally, some light is beginning to show through. I've missed so much in the time my personality seemed to disappear. And there is no way to make up for it.
I'll write it all across this wall before my job is done. I'll just have to pick up where I left off. And hopefully, my friends will find me again. My parents are, but they are afraid I will relapse into another deep depression.
And I'll even have the courtesy of admitting I was wrong. I was, indeed, very wrong to hide myself from the world around me. I regret it. And I know it's bad to set the blame on someone else, but I do. I blame all the people who ever said I was stupid, or ugly, or fat, or useless. They have all shot me down so much. They still have yet to admit to it.
As the final words before I'm dead and gone. I've learned to be myself. I'm never taking anyone's s**t every again. They will never take me alive and I will carry on.
You've never been so divine in accepting your defeat. People have worn me down. People have brought me back up. People continue to take me on this roller coaster. I used to hang my head at all of this. I was defeated by these people around me. Never again will they defeat me.
And I've never been more scared to be alone. I'm so scared of life. I'm so scared of death. I'm afraid of loneliness, but we will all die, theoretically, alone. I have fears that I will amount to nothing. But, I have discovered that these feelings are normal.
If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep, I treat everyone with respect. I feel bad if I do something wrong, even if I don't like the person one bit. Which is the main reason, I won't attack the people who have knocked me down, pushed me into lockers, and call me hideous names. It does nothing, but make them angrier. If I do hit someone, it's because I'm on my last nerve. It rarely happens.
Then I'm putting out the lantern, find your own way back home. If our paths happen to cross, Expect to be in the dark for a while. I'll warm up eventually and you will begin to know every single detail in my life. Who knows what you will find there. Maybe a friend, maybe a home away from home, a confidant.
Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two. Where summers lasted longer than, longer than we do. When nothing ever mattered, except for me to be with you. But in time we all forgot and we all grew.
Your melody sounds as sweet as the first time it was sung. With a little bit more character for show. And by the time your father's heard of all the wrong you've done, And I'm putting out the lantern, find your own way back home.
