Believe deep down in your heart that you are destined to do great things because you don't succeed by "It is what it is", you succeed by "It is what you make it".


We make that awkward eye contact

And I look away, look back, away

Because I feel there's something I should say

But whatever it is, I don't want to

I still have nothing to say to you

But when I see you with her

I feel like maybe it was wrong

To break our fragile china doll

And I almost start singing a Cher Lloyd song

Then I remember that I'm glad you're gone

So you can keep your ring, your love, your letterman jacket

Take back the memories, the pain, the heartache

And thie them up with a pretty red bow
For the next unsuspecting hopeless romantic

Who can argue with you about semantics

And how you swear she said things

That she never really did

And twist up her words so even she's confused

To the point where she just gives in

Because she doesn't want to be singing a Taylor Swift song

About how you broke her heart in the stereotypical way

But one of these days she'll come to realize

That there's no point in trying to disguise

How frustrated and broken she really is

And she'll have no problem saying goodbye to you

The way it seems all girls do

And maybe this time

The things she gives as reasons why

Will teach you to be a better guy

And pick her up when she wants to cry

Instead of letting her live a lie

And feeling like she might want to die

Because that seems better than this

But then again, almost anything would be

But that's just me

And it's usually smart to listen to

All those "Been there done that"'s

Because they speak from experience

And you can avoid all the "I told you so"'s,

And the heartache of being told "No, you're wrong"

By everyone who seems to know better,

And that awkward feeling like this

Because I still see you all the time

In the halls and in my rhymes

But none of this is worth a dime

Because at the end of the day there's still that regret

That won't go away until death do us part

Because I can never forget.

So for now I'll do the only thing left

After thinking all this in a split second pause,

I dodge your unintentional glance,

I duck my head and go to class

And hope you didn't notice.
