Ok since Elise shared hers, I'll share mine too, especially since I came up with the idea
I Want Something
This guy walked up to me
then proceeds to put his entire arm around my shoulders
Why would you be nervous around me? he asked.
as I moved away
the bus came before I could make a decision
Riding home after a long, stressful day
my chest is red and puffy
I cried so much
there arent any tears left
Im tired of being used
Im tired of being lied to
I question so much of this
Meant to get up early
but didnt
Woke up with a show tune
stuck in my head
Feel like going insane?
Got a fire in your brain?
And you're thinking of drinking gasoline?
I want something
but asking for it
takes away the meaning
