The only way one can hear
Is by listening
If only others listened to each other
If only I had not become who I am today

If then

If then that meant they would be happy
Then I take it back

I take it all back
All of it
Everything

From the last tear drop
To the last word spoken
I take becoming me back
Just to make you happy
Just to prove that I am a bigger person then you

I win
You lose
For once
Be happy
Be proud

I have done enough this time
For once
Admit that you were wrong
That in the end
Grades and teachers don't matter
That what matters is stronger
And deeper
That you lost that inner strength
A long time ago

I wish that I had not been great
That I had lost to you
For that would make you happy
And after all
Isn't that what you want?

To be happy?
