Proved you wrong
You told me I couldn't love
But I proved you wrong
You said I would never amount to anything
But I proved you wrong
You said we'd never be friends
But I proved you wrong
You said you'd never love me
But I proved you wrong
Image...It doesn't matter
I look in the mirror
Thinking I look okay.
Wondering why people care
About what others have to say.
When people tear you down
You try to build yourself back up.
But all these negative comments
Are like an over flowing cup.
People say your ugly
Almost all the time.
And it doesn't matter anymore
When someone says your fine.
What ever happened to personalities
or someone saying your swell.
I guess it went out the window,
It all shot to Hell.
Now its about image
And the way you do your hair.
I guess I'm here to tell you
that that isn't fair.
When you grow older
Head off to a different school.
Its not gonna matter
If you were a nerd or if you were cool.
Whats gonna matter
Are the traits that you posses.
The gratitude you have
And the sins that you confess.
It doesn't matter if you play in band
Or if you like to read books.
And guys are being jerks
If they pick girls based on their looks.
I'm here to tell you that their wrong.
Please hear the words that I write.
I'm here to tell judging by looks
Is never, ever right.
Cherish
Is life suppose to be like this?
Is it ever gonna change?
How will I know if this is the right path?
Should I take a step back?
I can't tell whats right or wrong anymore.
And if I could, I'd have to say
That two people like us
Need to change every now and then.
We aren't suppose to be together
But yet we are.
I need to be proud of something.
Cause being here in your arms
Is were I feel safe.
Questions run through my head
Making me crazy.
But when I think about it
Its alot easier to say,
That having these feelings
Are good in some ways.
But these feelings for you
Have got to change
One way or another.
I'll always feel for you.
But not the way you want me too.
I'm not gonna love you anymore.
Cause I love someone new.
God told me he was the one.
I prayed for it to be you.
But yet he told me you were to be a friend,
One I could love no matter what.
One that would be there
As tho a friend was lending a hand.
I'll keep memories,
But I won't speak of them.
Some secrets are meant to be told.
Others you should keep deep within the heart.
Thats where I'll cherish
You for a start.
