the words you say keep me here they keep me sane
each time I see you I know that I am safe
you are my dream my celebrity my everything
I can't keep the smile off my face or the laughter out of my voice
you tell me I'm pretty I believe you tell me I'm sweet I listen
you stop me from going to far
you know what I mean when I say I can't handle him
you listen and you hear something no one else has done
I can't sit here in silence no more
I need to tell you the truth I need to tell you how I feel
what I know and why I can't let you go

Yeah, I understand were your coming from. I normally have it formated differently so the punctuation doesn't matter

I like it. The only change I would make to it is that you should add punctuation so it is easier to read.
