Scenery is nothing more than poetry.<br /> Love is nothing more than chemicals.<br /> &#039;Cause fairy tales are just scribbled pages filled with happy endings and little white lies.<br /> One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.

I can see the sparkle twinkling in your eyes,
I lose feeling in my body when I see you smile. (Oh)
You spent time thinking about this, time you could've spent repairing the damage,
Your story book doesn't have another page.
Recite it in your mind,
Exactly what you want to say.
Recite it in your mind,
You can't just pack your words and walk away.
I don't know how you feel,
Or why she doesn't know.
But recite it in your mind,
Don't just give up and let her go...
It's hard for you to figure this out,
All those words trapped inside with no way to shout. (Oh)
They become stuck on the tip of the tongue,
Breathing slowly stops as you feel a collapsed lung.
Recite it in your mind,
Exactly what you want to say.
Recite it in your mind,
You can't just pack your words and walk away.
I don't know how you feel,
Or why she doesn't know.
But recite it in your mind,
Don't just give up and let her go...

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don&#039;t stay down. When in doubt, don&#039;t stop believing.

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
