When I was younger I saw my daddy cry And curse at the wind He broke his own heart And I watched As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that She would never let herself forget And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love If it does not exist
But darlin, You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception
Maybe I know somewhere Deep in my soul That love never lasts And we've got to find other ways To make it alone Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this Keeping it comfortable, distance And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content With loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk,
You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality But I can't Let go of what's in front of me here I know you're leaving In the morning when you wake up Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Oh You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
This could be our fairy tale They play the villians for our sword I could be the Alice to your Wonderland And find they where the beasts are lain Where was the dragon slain?
This could be our fairy tale We’ll make them all disappear I could be the rabbit to your magic hat And find where the beast are lain Where was the dragon slain?
This could be our fairy tale We’ll fight them all to the end I could be the arrow to your leader’s eye And find where the beasts are lain Where was the dragon slain?
And find where the beasts are lain Where was the dragon slain?
Sometimes it gets really hard to be as a family, to be friends, to be anything.

There’s an air everywhere Of inconsideration and despair I don’t consider you And you don’t consider me And it’s well understood We don’t care
chorus You know we don’t have to wait until the end of the night Just to say that something’s wrong and maybe nobody’s right We’re all victims in a battle We never had to fight It’s ok it’s alright Steady now we’re in this thing together We’re in this together
I regret that I forget Confessions always seem to stay unsaid And maybe I worry that you’ll forsake me Use my shame as a weapon And go on and break me
chorus
Cause I want to take the time to say I’m sorry I haven’t loved you the way I should Do you think that you could forgive me Just try to hear me I need you with me now
chorus

My sister’s bday was today! She’s 23, getting up there! Haha. Almost all of us kids (see, can’t even stop from saying that cause I’m so used to it) are out of our teens, just three left to go! Two will turn 20 next year. :P Scary! I made her a bday card and we baked her her favorite cake, German Chocolate. XD
This weekend was pretty awesome cause I didn’t have to go to school on Monday. Went back to school today, though, and was completely ADD (I’m not really, but I like to think so)! I have a storyboard due tomorrow, about 5 of them. Also! I’ll be doing presentations on the 15th, to the whole school because I’m moving on from this class. I will survive, it’s just that I have to explain to each person what each of my pics mean, why I did it the way I did, what tools I used, etc.
It’s going to be an interesting next two months. :D
My name is Valerie and I am a Christian; I am one girl out of two girls, seven boys in my family. I love having a large family, you get a lot out of the many friendships.
I’ve been drawing since I could first pick up a pencil. My style is mainly conservative and cartoonish, based off my life’s experiences and everything I see around me. People can relate to the emotions expressed by my characters’ emotions that are drawn on their eyes and faces.
Right now I have my AA in Graphic Design and am freelance graphic designer. My tools of the trade are Prismacolor pencils, color pencils, markers, Photoshop CS3, CyberTablet 12000 and Illustrator CS4.
