Welcome to Gaia! ::

gonk *revives* crying crying i gotta go *pats, afraid she broke Aarien* bye doll

~is in the rafters, humming softly~

Because I'm odd...~ducks~

~sings another song right after that one~

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned

We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall

We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all

They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide
Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

~smirks and sings another song~

Well, you filled up my head
With so many lies.
Twisted my heart
'Til something snapped inside.
I'd like to give it one more try,
But my give a damn's busted.

You can crawl back home,
Say you were wrong,
Stand out in the yard,
And cry all night long.
Well, go ahead and water the lawn.
My give a damn's busted.

(chorus)
I really wanna care,
I wanna feel somethin',
Let me dig a little deeper;
Naw...still nothin'.

You can say you've got issues.
You can say you're a victim.
It's all your parents' fault,
After all you didn't pick 'em.
Well, maybe somebody else's got time to listen.
My give a damn's busted.

('Well, let me get this straight now')
Your therapist said
It was all just a phase;
A product of the prozac
And your co-dependent ways.
So ... who's your enabler these days?
My give a damn's busted.

(chorus)
I really wanna care,
I anna feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper...
Naw, still nothin'.

It's a desperate situation,
No tellin' what you'll do.
If I don't forgive you,
You say your life is through.
Well honey... give me somethin' I can use.
(My give a damn's busted.)
('Ahh you knew I was gonna say that, didn't ya?')

(chorus)
I really wanna care,
I wanna feel somethin',
Let me dig a little deeper,
Naw, still nothin'.

('You've really done it this time')
My give a damn's busted.

~smirks, singing yet another song~

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away

[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

[Chorus]

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

~sings~

strummin my pain with his fingers
Singin my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song x2
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

Yea yea yea do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

I heard he sang a good song,
I heard he had a style,
And so i came to see him and listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
Stranger to my eyes

Chorus:
Strummin my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
Singin my life with his words (two times, two times)
Killing me softly with his song x2
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song


I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrased by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud,
I pray that he would finish
But he just kept right on

Repeat chorus

Wooooooaaaa ohhhhhhhhhh laaaa la la la la la la ohhh la laaa woaaa laa
Aaaalaaaaaa

Repeat chorus until fade

~jumps down still singing and dancing to the radio~

Don't need no copy of Vogue magazine
Don't need to dress like no beauty queen
High heels or sneakers he don't give a dang
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am

He never tells me I'm not good enough
Just gives me unconditional love
He loves me tender and he loves me mad
He loves me silly and he loves me sad

(CHORUS)
He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
He's always sayin' he's my biggest fan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am

And when there's dark clouds in my eyes
He just sits back and lets 'em roll on by
I come in like a lion and go out like a lamb
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am

(CHORUS)
He thinks im pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
He's always sayin he's my biggest fan
My baby loves me just the way i am...

(CHORUS)
He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
Don't see no reason to change my plan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am
