title : "Life With Superman"
If I wrote a book about where we stand
The title of my book would be "Life with Superman"
That's how you make me feel

The way you make me feel, is not describable by words. You make me laugh when I don't feel like smiling. You'll comfort me when I'm having a hard time. You wipe my tears away when I cry. You show me how much you care. You know how important some things are to me. You make sure I'm comfortable with everything. You do anything to make me happy. And you don't know how important and special it makes me feel. It makes me feel so blessed and lucky to have found somebody like you.

I count you as a privilege
This love is so ideal
I'm honored to be in it
I know you feel the same

It is a privilege to have you. I'm lucky to have you. No one else is fortunate enough to have you. You're something special and you mean so much to me. I am lucky, truly lucky. You're still here for me, despite all the wrongs I do. You're perfect. The most perfect person for me. Everything I look for in a guy, I've found in you. You've changed me. You've made me become a better person. And that is amazing. You're truly a blessing. Because of what you do for me, and how you show me you care.. I know your feelings are real. And I know that they're there.

If I wanna try to count the ways
You make me smile
I'll run out of fingers

Everything you do, everything you do for me, it makes me smile. There are so many things you do that make me smile. The good morning texts. The cute things you say to me. The cheesy things you say to me. The way you make sure I'm feeling alright. The ways you always try to make sure I'm comfortable. The way you worry whether it's awkward or not if you're holding my hand. The way you'll drop anything just for me. The way you kiss me. The goodnight texts. And so much more.. There's just so much I can name.. Everything you do, makes me smile.

Make me wanna keep my loving strong
Make me wanna try my best
To give you what you want and what you need
Give you my whole heart, not just a little piece
More than a minimum, I'm talking everything
More than a single wish, I'm talking every dream

Because of what you do for me.. I want to be the best girlfriend. I want to give you what you need. A shoulder to cry on. Someone to talk to when your down. Someone who can make you smile. Someone you know who'll be there for you no matter what. Someone who'll drop anything for you. I know I've yet to prove some of these, but I mean it. I'll be someone who will give you her whole heart and love you with everything she's got, and not share that with anyone else. I'll be someone who will give you everything and not hold back. I'll be someone who will give you more than one wish, I'll be there to help make every dream come true.

If there's options, I don't want them
They're not worth my time
Cause if it's not you, oh no thank you
I like us just fine

Nobody's going to come between us, okay? No other guy will ever compare to what you mean to me. You're irreplaceable. Nobody's got my heart like you do. Nobody can ever do what you do for me. No other guy is going to be worth my time. You don't have to worry about anybody else.. I don't want anybody else. I just want you. You're perfect. We're perfect. I don't want to let anyone break us apart.

You're a rock in the sand
You're a smile in a cry
You're my joy through the pain
You're the truth through the lies

My rock, one of the only things that keeps me steady and on my feet when things are rough. You're different. You're unique. You're something special. My smile, even when times are hard. Even when I'm in the middle of a breakdown, you still have the capability of making me smile. My joy, creating happiness even when I'm in the toughest of situations. Despite the problems I go through, you just seem to make things better. My truth, the honest truth. Even though I hear love doesn't exist, that no matter what everyone is going to hurt you.. You changed that for me.

No matter what I do
I know that I can count on you.


No matter what.. through the ups and downs, you're always there for me. Even when I push you away, you're still by my side. You're always offering comfort. You're always willing to talk to me. No matter what the situation, nor how much I mess up, you've always got my back.. You'll always be there to pick be up when I'm feeling down. And through this rollercoaster I've put you through.. You're always holding me down.

This is my life with Superman,
holdin' it down for seven months
i love you
