Bullet Proof

Do you listen to yourself
Never live for someone else
Do you like the way you feel
Nothing hurts when no one's real

Kelsey (that's me!)

So take one word you said
You put it in your bed
You rest your tiny head on your pillow
You wonder where you're going next
You got your head pushed to my chest
And now you're hoping that someone let's you in
Well I sure'll let you in
You know that you're in
Oh kelsey, you
So don't let anyone scare you
You know that I'll protect you
Always all through the thick and thin
Until the end
You better watch it
You know you don't cross it becauseI'm always here for you
And I'll be here for you
(I know x3) I know how it feels believe me
I've been there
(I know x3) I know what it feels like
Tell me kelsey
I'd swim the ocean for you
The ocean for you
Whoa, oh kelsey
And I'd swim the ocean for you
Swim the ocean for you
Whoa, oh kelsey
Yeah.
It's going to get harder
And it's going to burn brighter
And it's going to feel tougher each and every day
So let me say that I love you
You're all that I've ever wanted
All that I've ever dreamed of to come
And yes you did come
I want you so bad
Can you feel it too?
You know I'm so, I'm so in love with you
I want you so much
I need you so much
I need you, I need you, your touch
And I'd swim the ocean for you
The ocean for you
Whoa, oh kelsey
And you never, ever let me in (let me in)

The Middle

"Hey
Don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away

It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right

Hey
You know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in
Live right now
Just be yourself
It doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone else

Hey
Don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just do your best
Do everything you can
Don't you worry what their bitter hearts are going to say"

Regrets

"Part of growing up is that you can not go back in time, you have to live with your regrets and things you leave behind."

Possibilities

"The most important thing in life is to stop saying "I wish" and start saying "I will." Consider nothing impossible then treat possibilities as probabilities."

City of Blinding Lights

The more you know the less you see
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now
Neon heart day-glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see
I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time...time...time...time...time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily

~ U2, City of Blinding Lights
