Just Because, Sad Girl in the Sunset, Back Again..., I Will Live, Get Over Him, Girl
Just Because
Just because I met you
I had to start to like you

Just because I saw you
I had to totally ignore you

Just because I knew you
I had to dream about you

Just because I loved you
I had to never tell you
-July 12/97


Sad Girl in the Sunset
She sits by herself
deep in thoughts of the past
drenched in the setting sun
escaping shadows the trees cast

The glimmer in her eye
she was robbed of long ago
giving way to dull emptiness
to tears, sadness and woe

Her heart was torn in two
her life nothing but threats
she’ll always remain the
sad girl in the sunset

Back Again...
You’re back again...
Were you ever gone?
Did you finally give up?
No, I think not.

You’re back again...
The torture strong as ever
Give me some space
or I’ll forgive you never.

You’re back again...
But you just barely left
Return to me my mind
That was cruel theft.

You’re back again...
Lemme think a sec
I’ll make you a deal
Just stop wringing my neck.

You’re back again...
This just isn’t right
Oh, come on, memories
Quit haunting me day and night!

I Will Live
Afraid to hope,
I’ll just be let down

Afraid to dream
‘cause dreams turn to dust

Afraid to risk
‘cause what if I fail?

Afraid to speak
what if they won’t hear?

Afraid to wish
though there are stars

Afraid to love
cause it’ll break my heart

Yet I have to hope and wish,
to dream, speak, love and to risk

Otherwise I’m not complete
just a shadow of what I was meant to be

So I will hope and wish,
I’ll dream, speak, love and I’ll risk

I will live

Get Over Him, Girl
Get over him, girl
Open your eyes...
Oh, I forgot - it’s hard
But I don’t get why

Yeah, so he’s gorgeous
and so incedibly sweet
But you gotta give up, girl
Stand on your own two feet

Forget him already...
OK, at least try
You know it’ll do you good
You’ve had one too many cries
-July 17/97
