She Will Be Loved (Maroon 5)
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
Took out the bridge because it didn't contain anything that I wanted to say. Quite the contrary actually.
My dentist fixed my teeth for free because I didn't seem like one of the "numerous vainpot customers" he has everyday and because he couldn't stand seeing my smile "pleasantly nice, but just not perfect". So I got a cosmetic fix worth $200 dollars FOC. Whee.
But I realized one thing also. Besides the fact that my dentist is a really brilliant guy who's main concern is people's dental health-care and not demands by metrosexuals, there's something we have in common: we cannot stand certain things in people, especially if we have the power/gift/ talent to change it. My dentist wants to give everyone a brilliant smile with his education in dentistry and his passion for his patients, and he just can't stand people who don't have perfect smiles. So I became one of his victims.
Following that trend of thought, is there something that I cannot stand in people? I cannot stand people with no passion, no goal in life, no direction, who have no idea what they're on Earth for. Yes, I'm biased towards females, I'm not so hard on them in this respect. But for the guys around me, I really, really cannot stand it. As a man, society is structured in a way that in most encounters you are called to lead and make decisions. A man with no direction or value system is a man with no ability to make firm, hard decisions and stick to them. Thus, I am driven to use my gift to inspire, motivate, encourage others through my words, songs, actions, lifestyle.
But there's one more thing I cannot stand. For those people close to me, I cannot stand it when they're not smiling. That's why I've been given gifts and opportunities to grow as a comedian, a peace-maker, an entertainer, an intimate lover.
Is it no wonder that I find such pain when the opportunity to put a smile on the face of someone I love suddenly taken away? Does not the pain only exacerbate further when it happens to be something that I'm good at, that I was born to do? Is not the sorrow endless when my faith in God permits me to know for sure that there is nothing that we cannot accomplish, even when the odds of the situation were stacked against us?
Never a lips is curved with pain; That can't be kissed into smiles again. -Bret Harte
Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. -2 Tim 1:4
