See through

To see through rose-colored glasses

18
See through

Everything seems amazing when your looking through rose-colored glasses.

Take 'em off, take 'em off,

Tell them to take em off

So they can see who you really are.

And they said we should get back together but I don't think it's even worth it

Because they don't know the stuff you do.

They never cried the tears I cried all night

Hoping I make it out alive

But I'm 90% close to death.

When I married you, I thought it was

To love, to hold, to cherish,

To death do us part.

I'm falling apart and can't seem to put the pieces back together,

Everything seems amazing when your looking through rose-colored glasses.

They must think you're Prince Charming

Since that's all they seem to see.

Behind closed doors they don't see everything.

They don't know why there's more makeup on my legs and arms then my face,

They don't know why I wear shades all day,

They don't know why the caged bird doesn't fly at night

Hoping to spread her wings.

But all they do is come back to her, almost shattering,

Everything seems amazing when your looking through rose-colored glasses

Take 'em off, take 'em off,

They don't know you like I do.

They don't know you torture me like hot coals burning my inside out,

They don't know you let ya fist meet my face

On the corner of broken and bloody.

You told them I cover my face up with make up 'cause I'm beautiful,

You never tell them the actual reason why cause you don't want to look bad.

Well, you look bad;

You failed to realize that you can't cover up love that's not there anymore,

And I only stay cause I can't get out.

I don't love anymore,

I only said "I Do" because I'm scared.

If I can turn back time

"Do you take this man to be your husband

To love, To hold, to cherish,

'Til death do us part"

"I DO" not;

I Do Not want to love you anymore,

I Do Not want to hold us together,

I Do Not want to cherish something that is broken,

'Til death do us part

And all everyone knows is that rose-colored glasses make everything look better.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
