The truth is that I put my heart into everything
It’s how I always end up hurt most days
I never seem to give up,
I keep going towards the way of my heart
No part of me knows how to protect it all

Maybe one day I’ll learn to protect it more
But for now my heart will remain the same
No more torn off pieces, for awhile it seems
I’m trying to be smart and let them come to me
It may take some time, but friends is what I will have
The truth is that my friends are all I need right now

They may not see,
But I really need them
I don’t have anyone else
I’ve got some, and it’s nice
Others say I’m lonely

It’s all okay
I’ve got my bunch of 7 at lunch
The occasional awkward hellos in the hall
My sister, and her plus one
And most importantly, I have me

Everyone has a place with me
None are kept out,
With the exception of those who have wronged me
Those are out of my circle and not allowed in
I gave them that chance and they missed out
