I just can’t take it anymore.
Everything is getting so hard.
You’re spending all your time with her.
Parents trying to keep us apart.
They don’t understand our feelings.
The trust is broken and constantly renewed.
How you act around me, like it’s no big deal.
You know I’ll forgive you for going out again.
We’ve tried to improve things.
I’ve put forth effort countless times.
A year goes by.
I thought you would change, but you’re still the same.
How could I be so blind?
I refuse to fall for you this time.
I know things will work out in the end.
But I’ve put up with enough.
I’m tired of it all.
It can’t go on like this.
Things have got to change.
Very soon.
But I still love you.

The perfect guy has to be honest and open to his girl. He has to be smooth and classy. A real gentleman. He has to have some charm and a good sense of humor, but he also has to know when to be serious and sweet. He has to be sensitive and care about others. He has to be kind and an example to his peers. He has to want to serve others and offer service without complaining. He has to smile a lot and have a neat, clean appearance. He has to be interesting, but also interested in his girl and what she thinks. He has to be active and creative. He has to be the kind of guy that would never hurt his love, and she knows if he did it would hurt him even more to know that he her.

You be my hero,
I'll be your heroine.
Save me from this awful world
We've been living in.
Take my hand,
We're gonna win.
Hold me tight,
And make me feel alive again.

They say that love is war,
But tell me what are we truly fighting for?
Some people are never completely sure,
But I think love deserves so much more.

We're like two magnets
Always pulling toward each other
By each other's side
We feel the same
Our love for each other
It's so strong like that force
Of the magnets pulling together.

Then they turned me around
Sending us in opposite directions
They tell lies, make rules
Trying so hard to keep us apart
No matter how we try we can't
Get back by each other's side
But we're still the same

Our love for each other
Is so strong
We're still together
Even if we're not side by side
We know what really matters
That's all we need
My love fr you and your for me
