This worlds gonna knock you down
but it's up to you to turn around
give everyone a smile
even if they don't deserve it
'cause with a smile like yours 
don't reserve it


I've been standing here all along
with my arms wide open 
waiting alone 
on the outside
of this broken mess
you've left me on the outside
you've left me feeling worthless


You smile, I fly 
you cry, I die
I don't care how many bones I have to break 
jokes I have to throw at you 
or smiles I have to fake 
all I want is for you to break into that smile I know too well 
no matter what it takes 


I wish my shoulders were strong enough to lean on 
I wish they were perfect enough to cry on 
but when the world forgets your smile, 
look to your side 'cause you'll find I was never gone 
I wish I knew how to fix you
to be the one you need
but I can't get you to understand this 
 for the life of me 


I am on the outside
and if thats where you want me , I'll stay 
just know I'd cry myself to sleep forever
if it meant your pain would go away 
I am never  
ever 
ever 
ever 
going to stop caring about you 
even when you don't need or want me to 


Don't you ever apologize for being you 
or let an empty heart get you down
remember when you're being stabbed in the back 
don't turn around 
keep walking and don't let them get your heart
and when they do I'll help you when you fall apart




I am on the outside 
wanting to be there for you 
and help you like friends do 
I'm on the outside
PS. I love you

Mhmm.

I'm standing on the outside
of a broken mess
you've left me on the outside
you've left me feeling worthless


I couldn't get you to understand for the life of me
just how much I care
that I'm standing on the outside
while you're hurting in there


I want to be the one to fix you 
I want to be the one you need
I want you to know when your tears are falling 
you can come to me
I want my shoulder to be good enough 
to lean on, to cry on 
I want you to see that when the world walks out
I'll never be gone 


You cry, I cry
tears fall, I die
I'm on the outside 
wanting in 
I'll say it again 
I wish I could be the one 
to take it all away 
I'll cry myself to sleep every night
if you're never feeling pain
I am never 
ever 
ever 
ever 
going to stop caring about you 
even when you don't need or want me to 


I'm on the outside 
wanting to be there for you
'cause thats what friends do 


PS. I love you. 

You'll Never Be Alone, I Promise.

I'm always gonna be here
waiting to do whatever it takes
to make you smile
no matter how many bones I break
or smiles I have to fake

I'll always be right here
I'm never going to leave your side
standing alone most of the time
with my arms spread wide
waiting for my shoulder
to be good enough to cry on
I'll never stop caring
even when you're long gone

all I ever want to do
is fix you
and listen to you
and help you
I'm always going to be there for you
even when you don't want me to
or need me to

I'm always gonna be right here
ready to lend an ear
catch a tear
stand with you fighting fears
even though
part of me knows
I'm waiting around for nothing
because you don't need me
still, I'd do anything
whatever it takes
 to make you smile
 no matter how many bones I have to break.

I Am.

I am the girl who tries so damn hard to change
what she sees inside of her
but in the end all she does
is alter the face in her mirror
Another girl who swears she's fine
promises she doesn't mind
when she's always the one left behind
I am the girl who will leave you before you get the chance
to think about goodbye
the girl with broken wings
but will always try to fly
The girl who when you call her "beuteful"
all I do is correct your spelling because I know
you only mean it until someone else
walks in and steals the show
the girl who never has
and never will leave your side
leave
come back
leave again
and walk back in
just another girl who hopes one day
she'll be something worth staying for
even though
She lost everyone just to prove she could
to prove him wrong when he said he would
I'm the girl who's always smiling
because she hopes one day
someone will like it, and stay..

Tell Me..

Tell my how the bird with broken wings
flies the highest
tell me how the loneliest star is the one
that shines the brightest
tell my why raindrops fall with my world
and come crashing to the ground
tell me how silence always seems to be
the loudest kind of sound
tell me how an empty one is always
the most beautiful sky
tell my why it rains
tell me why you cry.
