Hell what have I got to lose...

I STARTED TO WRITE YOU A LETTER YESTERDAY,

  DIDNT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY.

AND AT THE LAST MOMENT i THREW IT AWAY,

  BECAUSE I DIDNT THINK YOU WOULD READ IT ANYWAY.

IM THE KIND OF WOMEN WHO HAS HER GLASS HALF FULL,

  BUT IM TORN JUST A BIT FROM THE STINGS U HAVE PULLED,

AND SINCE I ALREADY FELT A BIT ABUSED,

  I SAT AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF.

HELL WHAT HAVE I GOT TO LOSE,

  BECAUSE I CANT FALL MUCH FURTHER DOWN,

HELL LOOK AT WHAT I GOT TO WIN

  IF YOU COULD ONLY HEAR MY HEART.

YESTERDAY MORNING I ACTUALLY TRIED CALLING,

  BUT THAT WAS AFTER 6 DAYS AND 6 LONG NIGHTS OF STALLING.

I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT WEVE BEEN THROUGH,

  AND ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES THAT WE WENT TO.

THE TIMES WE HURT EACH OTHER, SOMETIMES WE MEANT TO.

  I EVEN TRIED TO MAKE UP WITH FLOWERS THAT I SENT U,

AND KNOW IM AT THE CROSSROADS WITH U AND ITS TIME TO CHOOSE.

  SO I GUESS I FIGURED "WHAT THE HELL,"

HELL WHAT HAVE I GOT TO LOSE,

  BECAUSE I ALREADY CAME THIS FAR,

HELL LOOK AT WHAT I GOT TO WIN,

  IF YOU COULD ONLY HEAR MY HEART AND SEE WHATS DEEP INSIDE,

I DONT LIKE TO SLEEP BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO DREAM,,

  I ALWAYS WAKE UP WITH TEARS IT SEEMS,

AND I CANT BLAME IT ON U SO IT MUST BE ME,

  IIM BEGGING FOR FORGIVENESS IF THATS WHAT I NEED TO DO,

HELL I AINT GOT NOTHING TO LOSE...........
