shiny apple

(8/01) (for jill)

She wakes up with the sun
To undo the damage she’s done
Day to day she makes her way
Patiently waiting to find the long run

With glowing eyes that could illumine the earth
She could never really know exactly what she’s worth
Cause she has a beauty she doesn’t see
The shiny apple hidden behind the leaves

She’s my blood and she’s my friend
I’ll be there till the bitter end
cause we no longer have to pretend
she’s got my trust and my respect

It’s been a long road but we finally found our way
Struggling through coming of age in disarray
And with nothing left to loose and so much left to say
We’re just growing stronger, each and every day

She’s my blood and she’s my friend
I’ll be there till the bitter end
cause we no longer have to pretend
she’s got my trust and my respect

And thank you for always being there
Thank you for showing me that you care
Thank you for letting me be who I need to be
Thank you for supporting me

Cause you’re my blood and you’re my friend
And i’ll be there till the bitter end
and we no longer have to pretend
cause we have trust and we have respect
