Live to die
Never speak
In a capsule
I can’t keep
Dig a hole
Very deep
Put it in
And start to weep
Maybe someday
I will see you again
Maybe someday
We will live to be friends
Note: If this seems dark for an 11-year-old to have written it, this was my interpretation of what happens to a friendship when someone breaks a “cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye” promise.

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)

I wonder what you’re thinking
When you look at me
Are you a perfect gentleman
Or are you undressing me
With your eyes
They say a penny for a thought
But are these things that can’t be bought
Am I like the dust you sweep
Under the rug
Expecting company
Keeping me a secret
Or am I not in your thoughts
Do you look right through me
As your eyes burn into me
With someone else in mind
