You look at me It's an 8 second rule and immediately you think you know who I am You judge me from my worn out jeans but honestly, what does that even mean? You think you know me? What is my middle name? The one that lies in between the seams... Chorus All that you need to know Is that you have so much more to show Beauty is inner You can't even see it, how can you tell When you don't know me at all You're one to judge, with your own imperfections Something you hid cause you're afraid you might fall To me, it's better to be who you are if only, you knew that I bet you'd go far I know you're nervous You're secretly afraid you're screaming inside from the pressure you made you gotta realize Chorus You look at me It's an 8 second rule and immediately you think you know who I am

Perfect in your own way What does that mean to you Let me be who I want to be don't tell me what I have to do, stop brainwashing me with all that perfect stuff. Don't want you to tell me what to be. Just let me be myself. I just want to be me, nobody else Let me be myself, don't tell me what to do, don't tell me what to say, I will never be normal I will always be this way, I'm not a barbie I'm a real girl don't try to change who I am, you tell me I should be normal What's normal to you Don't want you to tell me what to be. Just let me be myself. I just want to be me, nobody else Perfect in your own way What does that mean to you Let me be who I want to be don't tell me what I have to do, stop brainwashing me with all that perfect stuff.

We are not dolls We do not look like dolls We do not act like dolls As she opens the door she's pushed into another world of pretty horses and dreams so she tells them to get out and leave. Chorus: We are pop rocks and we have something to say We rock, we are awesome Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! With words like snowflakes the world gives everyone a chance to speak out their voice our head full of wonder our time to change the world. Chorus A better place where no one is afraid.

I trusted you. But you lied. I need you. Where are you? Get out of my head. You were on my mind About 99 percent of the time And yes, you're in my head But that doesn't make you stay Stop waiting for thing Go on and make them happen We don't remember days We only remember moments It's all for moments like this I spent my childhood Wishing for the day when I'd be older And I will admit that the time had come And all this just sucks Stop waiting for things Go out and make them happen yourself Don't wait. I want you here. How can you expect me to be everything that you expected?

Nothing comes easily when you're gone, and that's why I wrote this song. Its not any easier without you here, I really wish you were near. They say you'll make new friends, I know that's true, but I am also certain, I'll never forget you. Chorus: This is a song for you, wish you didn't have to go, one thing I know, is that I'll never forget you, and that's why I'm writing a song for you. You weren't always perfect, but you were always worth it. We had our share of bad days, but they never stuck, I'll never forget you. They say you'll make new friends, I know that's true, but I am also certain, I'll never forget you. Chorus x 2

Verse1: since I came home i've been coming around i've been coming around more since I came home i've been looking in windows, breaking down doors since I came home the weather's looking kinda dirty since I came back I lost the need to settle my score chorus: this is harder than it should be the silver lining is getting dirty the rush it's known for wants to keep me and this is harder than I though it would be verse 2: I need to bend my back and turn it on the small things I need to hold it straight until it breaks the ice you take what I make and put it in your tall drinks your celebration when the sun is in your eyes chorus instrumental bridge chorus 2x

I had a sleep over with my friends last night. We all started to dream the same dream. We were in a rock band. We were rocking all night long. We were on a stage in front of thousands of people, they all started waving their arms.   Bright lights, I'm real real nervous. My face is getting sweaty and I think they can tell. Bright lights, I'm really nervous. I think I heard a boo and I'm freaking out.   My face is turning red. I don't know what to do. I'm freaking out, and I'm scared of all of you. Do you like it? I wish I knew.   Bright lights, I'm real real nervous. My face is getting sweaty and I think they can tell. Bright lights, I'm really nervous. But I listen to the music and my feet start to move.
13.
Who cares if I can't rule the school? Who cares if I don't go to school? Who cares if I'm a fool? Who cares who cares who cares? CHORUS: We are open, open-hearted! O – P – E – N open! Open-hearted! O – P – E – N open-hearted! Who don't care who it is We will help anybody that asks We never say no we always say yes We help help help and never stop That's why we are open hearted! CHORUS Who cares if I'm NOT a fool? Who cares if I can't rule the school? Who cares if I'm not so cool? Who cares? CHORUS BREAKDOWN!

This rage is so frustrating I feel like I've been caged in The way that you've been changing Has got me going crazy I don't know what to do With myself Without you Cause there's a pain in my heart There's a pounding in my head Yeah I don't know what to do without you No I can't go on like this What have you done to me Something is missing Missing inside of me I just feel like bursting This is so confusing I need you here with me To keep me in harmony To keep me in harmony To keep me in harmony To keep me in harmony I don't know what to do With myself Without you Cause there's a pain in my heart There's a pounding in my head Yeah I don't know what to do without you This rage is so frustrating I feel like I've been caged in The way that you've been changing Has got me going crazy

Chorus: I wanna go to the other side of the street more places to go, more people to meet I don't wanna stay on this side with all the rules I have to abide. Verse: Traffic lights may hold me up In the street I might get stuck I will need to keep on going Never doubting but not quite knowing Chorus Verse 2: Everybody's on the wrong side Just like my friend she's lost her mind No one else is coming, I hope the winds favor me Chorus Bridge: I'm walking to the other side of the street I'm steppin' to the beat I'm walking to the other side of the street I'm steppin' to the beat Chorus
16.
You're the reason I'm so vain You're the reason I'm in pain You're the reason I'm ashamed You're the reason I'm afraid You're the reason why I cry You're the reason I don't try You're the reason inside I die You're the reason why Chorus : You never brought me any good Like I had hoped you would You keep me running back to you, to you, to you Running back to you You keep me running back to you, to you, to you & I don't know what to do I told you all my secrets I told you all my fears But you just told lies And I don't know what to do Chorus I know it's really stupid But I just run back to you You make me feel safe So my mind says to stay But my heart says no way Chorus
