I would be anything for you The perfect daughter Straight A student Complying, innocent sweet child
I would be anything for you even if that wasn’t who I was I would tip toe around you making sure I didn’t upset you to keep on the mask of a perfect sweet innocent child The daughter you always wanted, right?
The daughter who likes boys and pink and never falls into the wrong crowd The daughter who’s wrists weren’t scared from years of pain that wouldn’t go away
The daughter you always wanted
My brother doesn’t want to play. He’s on his computer every day! He said, “It can research, buy merch, and even sing. My computer can do just about anything.”
I stomped my foot and said, “I can do all that too! Let me try then, I would be anything for you!”
“I don’t think there’s very much that you can do. You’re no computer, you’re human through and through.” __ __ “I could be a cat or a dog. Or maybe even a hedgehog!”
“You could not be a cat or a dog. You could not even be a rat or a frog.__ There’s not really all that much that you can do.__ You’re no computer, you’re human through and through.” __ __ “I could be a princess or a knight. That would be a brilliant delight!”
“You could not be a princess or a knight. You aren’t prim or proper, and you can’t fight! Really, you don’t have many things you can do. You’re no computer, you’re human through and through.” __ __ In that moment, my mind hit the floor. I couldn’t think of anything more. “I’ve named everything, so hear my plea! Who in the world do you want me to be?”
He laughed to himself, like it was a joke. A mere brotherly tease. And then, he spoke. “It’s okay, really, put your woes on the shelf. The only thing I want you to be is yourself.__ You could not be a cat or a dog. You could not even be a rat or a frog. You could not be a princess or a knight. You aren’t prim or proper, and you can’t fight! __ Sure, there may not be very much that you can do. But you’ll always be my sibling, and I’m happy you’re you.” __ __ I smiled really brightly, as bright as the sun that day. Then he grinned and finally said, ”Okay, let’s play!”
I would be anything for you Anything you'd tell me to A thief, a monster I don't care I'd die for you, it's only fair
You saved me from the death I fear You're the reason I'm still here So now I'm always at your side Matching you for stride by stride
I'd walk on water any day I'd be a dragon if you say I'll always fight to get you through I would be anything for you
I would be anything for you except: A salesman, Postman, Policeman, Fireman, Doctor, Lawyer, Butcher, baker, or candlestick-maker, Tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy, Politicians are liars and drink only ruin, A barkeep I’d loathe, deal with drunkards and bruisers, As for engineer, I only have half a brain, While the side less travelled goes slowly insane, Nurses are underpaid, work too-long hours, And I’m poor with finance, couldn’t be an accountant. I’m so-so at poetry, but no one would read it, It’s too controversial, not politically correct. Same with my writing and songwriting too, I’ve a penchant to speak my mind much more than I ought to. But, alas, my allegiance, it lies with the word, And although I deem sensitivity training absurd Let it be so, for what does it matter If you are offensed by my prose and my chatter. Don’t read it at all, if that’s how you feel. I suppose it’s a gift, not caring what others think, Though doing so in the public eye is a calculated risk, I could be cancelled, or framed in a scandal, But what does it matter if I know what is and what isn’t so? What does it matter if I go the path I chose, Instead of the one you told me to follow. Yes, I would be anything for you except everything you want me to be.
I would be anything for you. I would be whatever you wanted, Whatever you asked. I would make you love me, Make you look me over and say, “That’s my girl.” I’d do anything to be in your spotlight. I’d do anything to make you proud. I just want your love, Your affection. I would be anything for you.
But I’ll never be enough for you. Your anger for me creates My anger for you. Why am I not good enough? I do everything, Yet you cast me aside, Put me down at every chance you get. You never believe in me, Never think I’ll do well. If someone were to look at our relationship, They’d think you hate me. But I know your twisted love, Your warped affection. We share a mind, after all.
You know me and I know you. Maybe that’s why we’re rivals. I know all your darkest secrets, I know you better than anyone else could. I know every mistake you’ve made, Every. Single. Flaw.
Yet I crave your love. All I want is to be enough for you. So I get higher grades, I earn more achievements. I climb higher and higher, To put you at the top. All so you can enjoy the view. All so you can be_ proud of me_.
To the girl in the mirror…
I would be anything for you.
I would be anything! That is my game Red happy eyes, white chassis frame A chockfull of spikes is what I contain With catchy disguise; my goal is to aid!
My first looked weary, and asked full of woe I am far too busy, my life never slows Told him no worries, so inside he goes Then after he merely, never once rose!
Second stood short, hands at their back My last work report, it was all out of wack So in she went forth, sent closed with a whack Now going henceforth, she never would slack!
The third was a problem, wore a black suit Words were all solemn, while asking for truth My heart in the bottom, said “no need to be crude! I just get my job done,” but that sullied his mood
We Can Change Anything! is my given name No shabby lies, from handy fame The second installment with much of the same There’s many things I can change; that is the claim
When the days blend together
And the nights become weary,
When not a soul reaches out
And life seems a bit scary
When you feel that you’re lost
And you can’t find your way,
When you have no one to turn to
At the end of the day
Stop by me once in a while
You always pass me in a hurry,
You don’t allow yourself the time
To try and cease your worries
Next time you need a shoulder
Or mindfulness to feel renewed,
You can find me in the mirror
Always looking back at you
I’ve seen everything
From your pain to how you grew,
By now you should know
I would be anything for you.
I’m numb to anyone else I love the subject of sin
I don’t need to come find you I see you everywhere You belong to me.
I’m where you belong. I need you to give me your body I feel chills when I’m with you.
You feel hot, your souls burning Our souls are burning together
I don’t need to come find you I’m where you belong.
I need to swallow all your pain While I take you With me All of you.
