"I haven’t found a reason for all of this madness"

August 16th, 2004
Hi Britney,

Well today I can’t really chat with you, because tomorrow I’m going up north for a few days and I still want to get everything sorted out. Otherwise, I’m sure you’ve probably got a bunch of things to do yourself, therefore I just wanted to show you a song I wrote, It’s about you, and kind of what I’m feeling right now. It’s called “Everything (That’s You)” and I hope you like it! Cheers!

I haven’t found a reason for all of this madness
I’d like to know why it is I am so glued to you
I know… there’s no reason at all
I think I’ve never felt so beautiful just by staring at your face

I will fall, I will cry
But it all leads up to this one very point in my life

I get a headache every time someone says your name
Just by thinking about everything
Everything’s that’s you

Everyone asks why it is that I like you so much
And I swear, I don’t know what to say
I stare at the computer nearly everyday
Trying to write you a letter where all I ask you is why things had to be this way

I saw you, you saw me
Still we acted like nobody had been seen

I just hate to think that I’m the only one that feels this way
And everything falls down on me
Although we are miles apart
Baby, you can still break my heart
Like the very first time

Like the very first time, oh yeah
I can still remember that day
How I wish I could go back and reconsider once again

You will fall, you will cry
And I will stay here because I promised to keep by your side

I have never taken my heart and let it be tortured this way
But I’m happy that it’s you
Stand by me and I will guide you when all the lights go out
That’s the way it should be, cause you’re my everything

Nikki
