Gotta Move On

November 2003

I’m constantly thinking about the past
When I should be over it and head to the future
Crying over something that happened months ago
When I should be dealing with the present instead

[Chorus:]
Cause I gotta move on
I’m brave and I’m strong
I was brave in the past
Why can’t I be now
I don’t want to be a girl
Who lives in the past
I want to be a girl
Who lives in the present

I’m never thinking straight
I’m always falling behind
I better keep my grip
Before I fall back down that cliff

[Chorus:]
Cause I gotta move on
I’m brave and I’m strong
I was brave in the past
Why can’t I be now
I don’t want to be a girl
Who lives in the past
I want to be a girl
Who lives in the present

I’ve gotta move on

I’ll Miss You Best Friend

2003 (5th Grade) 

Little girl
Why you sighing
When you should really be crying
(Yeah)

The world
Is coming to an end
Don’t worry
Cause I’ll still be your friend

[Chorus:]
I will always be your friend
All the way to the end
I will always be your best friend
Forever (yeah)

Even though you’re mean to me sometimes
I will always look towards the bright side
Even though you might get mad at me
It’s always both of our fault
Even though I’ve never told you my secret
I should tell you all of them

Cause I’ll miss you best friend
I’ll never ever forget you (yeah)
I’ll miss you best friend
You’ll always be in my heart forever

[Chorus:]
I will always be your friend
All the way to the end
I will always be your best friend
Forever (yeah)

Don’t Come Back (Part 2)

January 22nd, 2024

You might be a vegan
But you caught me like a fish in a hook
I’m begging you to release me
I don’t belong on a shelf like a book
You have more compassion for animals
You try to oversimplify
By telling me you don’t know what you want
But you still won’t say goodbye
I told you that was all I needed
I couldn’t have you disappear again
Then I don’t hear from you
Going against calling me a friend
There’s no basic respect
You want what you want
You say you don’t know what that is
But you know what it’s not
There’s a lump in my throat
I don’t know what to do with
I say that I don’t cry
But I need to release this
I let one tear go
But there’s so much more
I’ve bottled up everything
To not be who I was before
And I lay myself down
In all my broken pieces
I’m trying to convince myself
That I really don’t need this
Because I loved you as a person
I don’t know if I felt more
But what do I do with this love
You don’t want anymore
I pretend that I don’t care
But you know that’s a lie
How can I let this go
When you couldn’t say bye
So I will use my words
To strike this match
And burn our bridge
You can’t have me back
