hi beautiful, I'm sorry

Hey, your smile makes my day

And I don't think I could ever stop looking at your eyes

You make me laugh when I feel like crying

And you make me want to be alive

But I'm just a train wreck

And I'm sorry that I'm always sad

Half the time I don't feel anything

When I just want to love you, it makes me mad

How my own brain rebels against me

Just when I was starting to feel okay

Me and him, we got along for a while

But then he went and threw it all away

And now the scars are piling up

But I keep on keeping on for you

'Cause even though I don't like a thing about myself

It makes me feel better knowing that you do

I'm sorry if sometimes I ever feel numb

And I can't give you the affection you deserve

I'm sorry if I'm over dramatic and anxious

I'm sorry if I ever get on your nerves

I really do love you and I can't imagine a world

Where you're not here with me, making me feel alright

So thanks for everything you've done for me

But if you want to leave, I would understand why

But back to your eyes, there so blue and bright

And I see them in my dreams every night

Small flecks of yellow just like the sun

Reflecting on an ocean, I'm drowning in one

Your laugh is something I can't describe

But it makes me feel warm and happy inside

Sorry I stole your flannel, but it really is nice

I promise I'll wash it and return it sometime

I love joking around and playing our songs

And hoping that the other sings along

So thanks for being a super sweet person

You're the one thing I got right when everything I do is wrong
