“Eric’s Song”
i scratch out a short list
of all the people that matter to me
turns out you’re the only one that gives as much as you receive
never leaving any doubt of who is the most important to me
it never gets any easier any time that you go
’cause all the people i know come and go
even now that i’m off on my own
you’re the one that keeps this place from feeling like home
i’m not as strong as i need to be
you’re the only one who sees the real me
let me peel off all my my layers and show my true colors
i’m tired of being who people expect me to be
you’ve always loved me just as i am
and that is more than enough for me
’cause i never even needed their seal of approval
