Regret and Happiness, pt. II

I'm done pretending I'm not happy
just to justify myself
done denying smiling, trying,
you do that to me, i can't help
it, if I could I wouldn't, shouldn't,
I'm not dumb enough to try;
I'm not gonna sigh and cry
and hide the twinkle in my eye

I'm in love and it's thrilling, really
i'm in love and it might be silly
I don't give a fuck 'cause it'd kill me, kill me
Chill me, thrill me, fulfill me, fill me, oh!

Deal me in 'cause I'm playin, playin,
I'm in love, I'm just sayin, sayin,
smiling, whiling away the day and
if I get a say then you're stayin, stayin, oh!

I'm done pretending you're the only
one I live for anymore
I'm done pretending that I'm lonely
just because you're insecure
I'm in love with someone else
just like I told you I would be
I never lied to you, I felt
much more for you than you'll believe.

i'm in love and i will be happy
though that's not how you would have me
not what you want, no, not exactly
if you wanted to keep me you could have asked me, oh! (/asked but no!)

i'm in love and it's not selfish
to want to love each moment, relish
every single second of it,
i am happy, i can't help it, oh!

Regret and Happiness pt. I

I'm done pretending I regret
everything I ever said
moping, hoping you'd forget
the girl who's living in my head
I'm honestly on to an opera plot
I'm a girl who once knew who she was but forgot
I love who I love but my heart's a mess
more devil than woman in this crimson dress
I don't have enough small change to second guess
"Forever" is a word that's meaning less and less
"Forever" is a word that's ever meaning less and less
"Forever" is a word that's meaning less and less

r2D2

I confess I fell for you on our first date:
your steel plate
just blew me away!

I love the way you roll along the sand
although you can't
even hold my hand.

Let me always be by your side,
don't ever hide,
I’ll be true to you,
because you R 2 Dear 2 me.

I'd never leave you out in acid rain
it'd be a pain
to have to build you again.

I love you even when you power down
when I'm around,
I have found...

I would never leave you behind,
I think you will find
that I'll be true to you,
because you R 2 Dea' 2 me.

Ooh, my baby, how you fill the void,
you're my favorite droid,
I’ll never get annoyed

when you steal all the covers on the bed,
and from toe to head
I’m in the cold air instead.

When we first met, oh you caught my eye,
and you can bet, you're still my favorite guy,
and if you ever got wet, I would rub you dry
and if you were dead, I promise I would cry!
I'll never forget the cheeky look in your eye
when I said, "this is between you and I" [sic]
I let it get to my head like wine
when you winked your led--I mean, your LED lights!

When you get older I will oil your joints
with droid joint oint-
ment that I will anoint

each night I’ll hook your batteries up to charge
although they are
abnormally large

you can bet that won't bother me
it's easy to see
that I’ll be true to you,
because you r 2 Dea' 2 me.

yeah you r2D2 me...
uh-huh you r2D2 me...
you know you r2D2 me...
because you r2D2 me...

my love, you r 2 Dea' 2 me.

Pilot Lights

Pilot lights
don't go out at night
don't go out when fires are dying
they are there to stay
until the end of days
they will comfort you when you are crying.

Pilot lights
are a lovely sight
to behold after goodbyeing;
they will light the way
back to the path from which you strayed--
they can see that you are trying.

Pilot lights
never get in fights,
never yell at you for lying.
They will still be there,
even when you're scared,
when your eyes show no sign of ever drying.

Pilot lights
are like fireflies:
they can teach you tricks like flying.
If you listen, Dear,
you can almost hear
their music over your sighing.

Old Things

and we've all kept old things
road maps to old dreams
sewn new thread on old seams,
and it seems
your love is secondhand,
but I can love a used man,
my mantra is "I think I can,
I think I can."

No Grievances

I have no grievances--
and no regrets!
I have not sold my soul away, at least not yet!
I like the way I've lived my life so far, as of today,
I cannot think of a single thing
I'd do again a diff'rent way,
which I guess is a good thing, cuz I know,
I'll never get another go at it, but even so:
