I don't want to lose my legs, you know. I don't want to be wheeled around in a wheelchair. I don't want to be attached to a catheter. I saw all that stuff happen to my father, and as much as it upset me because I loved my father so much, it also really traumatized me.
Can't we try just a little bit harder,Can't we give just a little bit more,Can't we try to understand,That it's love we're fighting for,Can't we try just a little more passion,Can't we try just a little less pride,I love you so much baby,That it tears me up inside
