27/F/Chicago all words my own
Smiling faces Whispering voices Humanity bleeding in and out of view Where will it take you today? Will you escape unscathed? Or will you succumb to the elemental differences. Don't they say buy the ticket, take the ride? There are no tickets for sale to this **** show So strap in or strap up or Whatever you need to do Because we're all just playing nice Underneath a mask or two

playing nice
We've kept our secrets For far too long We've let you win For far too long It happened in high school "Friends" grabbing me from behind "You've matured faster than the other girls" It happened in college Pushed me against a wall "Don't you want a kiss?" It happened in college Cornered me in a room I escaped to a bathroom "You're seriously over reacting!" It happened in college "My friends have a blunt upstairs!" No one else showed up He ripped my shirt It happened after college Dancing at a bar Started feeling me up, moving under my clothes Was able to hold me there in the chaos "We were just dancing!" My father warned me My father gave me pepper spray My father taught me how to fight back It still happened My guy friends tried to protect me My guy friends stuck up for me and other girls My guy friends went with us to parties and random houses It still happened Ladies, stay strong We will not go backward Only forward

ME TOO
Laying there looking into your eyes I can see you still love me Your nose pressed against mine Not saying a word Soaking in each others energy You say "You're so pretty, you know that?" I think "Why did you cheat on me?" Laying there looking into your eyes I can see you still want me Your hands on my body You start to whisper Giving me bad memories You say "Do you like that?" I think "Why now?" Laying there looking into your eyes I can see you are realizing We are not the same as we used to be I'm less naive You're less familiar

Moving On...
I was 14 He was 15 I felt that love He felt that lust I was frozen He was hot to the touch I held his hand He grabbed my hips I felt his anger He felt for me Laying and waiting Jealousy can be such an ugly thing

Do you ever really move on From your first I still get that feeling In this huge city Will I see him? Will he see me? No one has done better with making me Love Sick I thought I could play like you I thought I was playing WITH you I was just playing along With my own Love Sick song
