Expressions


I'll express this today That beauty in the world comes to me seemingly so quickly At least until I feel like everyone in the possible known universe is ticked at me I'll express this today That some days I'd rather fade away than look falsely into the eyes of a passerby who is asking me if I'm okay I'll express this today That sometimes I cry deep on the inside because my outsides say yay but inside I die all day I'll express this now These daily feelings of sadness and sorrow shall always attempt to put me down Until it has beaten me, and taken what it feels is my crown I'll express this now For though the night seems long in its time. I know that a voice calls out to me saying you are mine I'll express this now I'm done fighting these battles when the wars been won I can't keep living in the past, what's done is done I'll express this now Mistakes we make make us who we are Some eyes may see a fool His see us for what we are I'll confess this now I need you now more than ever before I need you every time I step out the door I'll confess this now I need you to never leave my side To say you'll always be mine Even in the midst of my failures that I'll make all throughout my life I'll confess this now I want you because I need you And Lord I need you now
