To see through rose-colored glasses

5
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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
