"Maybe I'm Crazy"

Maybe I'm crazy,
With low self-esteem.
For chasing after--
The most wonderful dreams.

Maybe I'm crazy,
With low self-esteem.
For chasing after--
The most beautiful things.

Maybe I'm crazy,
With low self-esteem.
For believing that life--
Is never as bad as it seems.

Maybe I'm crazy,
With low self-esteem.
For believing in life--
That we can accomplish all things.

Maybe I'm crazy,
With low self-esteem.
For only seeing in life--
The impossible dreams.

"Well, Damn!"

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate imperfection.
On a scale from 1-10--
10 would be my selection!

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate all these flaws.
I believe in self expression--
Now, I'll fight for that cause!

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate a mistake.
So, I made the wrong choices--
Come on now give me a break!

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate a setback.
Now I have to push forward--
With everything that I lack.

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate this depression.
And you ask me if I'm fine--
Now that's a terrible question.

Damn, damn, damn!
I'm such a big mess.
I can't handle this pressure--
I can't take all this stress.

Damn, damn, damn!
I know God's got it all.
He will pick me back up--
Whenever I fall.

"I Remember You"

Hey! Do you remember me?
'Cause I remember you...
I remember your laugh and smile--
And all the silly things you used to do.

Hey! Do you remember me?
'Cause I remember you...
I hope you're doing okay now--
After all I put you through.

Hey! Do you remember me?
Or have I fade away?
And though time has passed now--
All the memories of you have stayed.

Hey! Do you remember me?
Or have those memories disappeared?
It's almost been a year now--
And I'm still hiding in the fear.

Hey! Do you remember me?
'Cause I remember you...
And since we last spoke--
It's been hell what I've been through.

Hey! Do you remember me?
'Cause I remember you.
I've been drifting sadly--
With not much else to really do.

Hey! Do you remember me?
Even a little bit at all?
I guess we rise to stand--
After every time, we fall.
