My plans are already madeHow I wish I could just fadeInto bed with you at nightBut sleeping next to you is too hardHard for me to want to sleepWhen you’re right next to meBecause there aren’t enough minutes in a dayTo look at youTo listenTo holdBut waking up to you is too promisingPromises of a…

Boy bye

Sorry I’m not good enough What you wanted me to be Sorry I’m not good enough But you’re not good enough for me You try to perfect my flaws But I love my imperfections You try to bring me down But let me teach you a lesson See, I know I’m not perfect And know…
