i wanna be older for the first time in my life
i wanna be bolder, i wanna be sure that it’s right
i wanna stop crying, i wanna stop being so sad
i wanna say goodbye and not have it hurt so bad
i’m hurt, you know
there’s nothing we can do about it though
i love you so
so much i have to really let you go
i wanna be yours
but i have to be mine first
i wanna be yours
but i have to be mine first
you know i won’t forget all the good times that we had
i wanna be your friend, i wanna be your friend so bad
i want us to go out and for it to be ok
i wish it was different, why does it have to be this way
i’m hurt, you know
there’s nothing we can do about it though
i love you so
so much i have to really let you go

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
