me vs. the world-->halo friendlies

Hey boys, Hey girls, Hey anybody who will listen to me. In case you haven't noticed, it's just me against the world today. I fell out of the wrong side of the bed and landed in the worst mood. The stupid alarm clock screamin' at me from across the room. I'm tryin' to be nice. I'm tryin' to be reasonable. but it's oh so hard when I don't wanna be. If your lookin' for that nice girl from the day before, don't bother she don't live here anymore. 'Cause it's me against the world (oh what a stupid day). Yeah its me against the world (just stay out of my way). and in case you haven't noticed, and in case you haven't heard, it's just me against the world. And the world is winning.

You should have let me stay in bed. I've got this pounding in my head. No nothing's ok, won't you stay out of my face today. I'm slamming doors, I'm slamming phones down. Watch out for this temper tantrum. Stay outta my way cause if you dont you'll be scared away. I'm trying to be nice. I'm trying to be reasonable. but its oh so hard when I dont wanna be. If your looking for that nice girl from the day before don't bother she dont live here anymore. Cause i'ts me against the world (oh what a stupid day). Yeah its me against the world (just stay out of my way). and in case you haven't noticed, and in case you haven't heard, i'ts just me against the world. And the world is winning.

I'm gonna be impossible. I've gotta tell you I'm seeing red. I'm gonna make you believe what I say. I'm gonna make you. Cause it's me against the world (oh what a stupid day). Yeah it's me against the world (just stay out of my way). and in case you haven't noticed, and in case you havent heard, its just me against the world... And the world is winning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
whenever there's silence, and you close your eyes... it's like, you can go anywhere you want. you know that place? where nothing else matters. where cold, mean and inconsiderate people don't exist. where only joy is present. where everyone understands you. where you feel loved. where your wildest dreams come to life. where everyone lives happily ever after. it's called a fantasy. ever heard of it? everyone has one... too bad we can't stay there forever... at least we can go visit it once in a while... at least...

keep on moving
you still need to survive.
keep on yelling
you deserve one more fight.
keep on walking
this life is too short.
don't take for granted
what your enemies have scored.

HER FEELINGS SHE HIDES.
HER DREAMS SHE CAN'T FIND.
she's losing her mind.
she'sfalling behind.
SHE CAN'T FIND HER PLACE.
she's losing her faith.
she's falling from grace.
she's all over the place.
...SHE'S LOST INSIDE...
-avril lavigne
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fall back. take a look at me and you'll see i'm for real. and that don't appeal to ya let me know. and i'll go, cause i flow better when my colors show. and that's the way it has to be, honestly. cause creativity could never bloom in my room. i'd throw it all away before i lie. so don't call me with a compromise. hang up the phone. i've got a backbone stronger that yours.

don't know. you think you know me like yourself. but i fear you're only telling me what i want to hear. but do you give a damn? understand that I CAN'T NOT BE WHAT I AM. i'm not the milk and cereals in you're spoon. it's not as simple here we go not so soon. i might have fallen for that when i was fourteen and a little more green. but it's amazing what a couple of years can mean.

so if you're trying to turn me into someone else. it's easy to see, i'm not down with that. i'm not nobody's fool. if you're trying to turn me into something else. i've seen it enough and i'm over that. i'm not nobody's fool. if you want to bring me down, go ahead and try.

go ahead and try. try to look me in the eye, but you'll never see inside until you realize. things are trying t settle down. i'm just trying to figure out exactly what i'm about... if it's with or without you... i don't need you're doubt in me.

-avril lavigne
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drop it and run away. don't take it with ya forever.

silence is my song.
