Don't Sweat It or You'll Regret It


I see those girls staring at me

Always judging, but I just hope and plea

That they're not talking about my broken self-esteem

For they don't know what I've seen

 

I'm just so hurt inside

For they don't know how hard I've tried

To be like them on the bright side

But instead those girls have just brushed me aside

Like the wind to the leaves dried up and and denied

 

However I've rose up from the dead

I'm finished with them, for they misled

And now I'm me because instead

My confidence is more than just a thread

 

It's because I've found my best friend

A girl who doesn't judge because we blend

And a person who will always defend

Her and I together without end

 

We are FLAWLESS because we didn't sweat it

I knew if we did we would have regret it

We may have hurt ourselves or even others

But because we had each other we became stronger

I don't care what those girls think 

We're flawless and that's how we sync
