I'm so in love
I don't know what to do
I'm in love with somebody else
I don't know if I can be with you

I love you so much
I love him too
You said you understood
But I still don't know what to do

I'm trying to get over him
Day by day
But he always on my mind
No matter what they say

I will always be with you
And you know that's true
But I will always love him
And he will always love me too.

Some people have debts
All in all I’d say I have regrets

That you were cruel
You weren’t kind

And I was myself
Yet you could not grasp
What I was trying to tell you.

I was angry with a friend

It hasn't changed in many years

Being over confident, isn't in

Instead of wasting time talking,
put all your available energy,
into doing. Whatever you have
in mind, use this time, in what
you could be pursuing. There's
a lot of things, you can get involved
with, that would make a difference,
in someones life. There's no need,
to come off too strong. Just do what
your heart tells you and things are
bound to move along. When the time
comes, you'll look back and you'll be
happy you toned things down, a peg
or two. Now, you can be over confident,
as everybody, is proud of you!
