Story of my life

I could pretend to be happy

When the world is ending

And you'd all believe me

I'm a great actor

But never onstage

 

I can say I'm happy for you

Congrats that's so cool

When under it all

I have a nagging suspicion

That this isn't right

This is weird it

Doesn't sync up and

Like lightning

My brain connects the dots

 

Coincidence...but not at all

Jealousy but she's too blind to see

Too excited

And he just needs to stop

Stop wanting

Stop lying

Stop not knowing

Can't you look at yourself

And tell if you feel or you don't?

 

I'll just pretend it all away I guess

It's only one more year anyway

Head down, flute up

Story of my life.

    Laughter

    The chorale

    Stopping

    Starting

    "Again"

    "I know you can do better than that"

    Serious but

    You also love it

    Cornered

    I put my hands up

    Like you taught me

    Only now

    You're the one attacking

    "Helping" because

    You "just want me to feel better"

    And I braced for impact

  • Distracted and angry

    I'm distracted.

    Why did I let myself become so reliant

    Dependent

    So stupid

    Ugh I'm so mad.

    So mad.

    I let myself become distracted by silly things I could want

    I let myself want them
