I shouldn't care so much
But when I laugh or cry
It's for you I feel
But I hate it so I lie
I feel the pain you feel
I am happy when you are
I know what it's like to be you
I realize your life is hard
I wish I could say more
Be your one and only
But I'd settle for your friend
I hate to see you lonely
Maybe I don't love you
But I want to make you happy
It's for you that I've changed
I just want you to be proud of me
I never used to love myself
Until you said I should
You told me I'd feel happy
I'd tell you the same if I could
I'd put the smile back on your face
I'd take the clouds away
Take away sadness and put in it's place
A golden ray of light that's there to stay
But all I can do is pray for you
That things will be alright
And dream of you once more
When I go to sleep at night...
