22/F/Rome Freckles on my shoulder, / ammunition like a soldier, / visions and ambitions to be the best.
I’m not sure Of what I’m doing I’m starting to dread the thought That my solitude Is not a choice anymore But something I got used to Without even noticing Like it’s something I’ve been telling myself That I needed Or deserved A symptom of strength To show off To be proud of When the last thing I want Is building up walls Around someone I love I should be pulling you in But I’m kicking you out I locked the front door Threw away all your clothes So you wouldn’t come back Because I got so much tired Of your endless coming and going Never knowing where to stand I’m not going pretend I prefer to pull away Before they do the same But everything has a price I’ve seen it with my eyes And I’ve paid For each one of my mistakes And that’s alright It’s all part of life And I embrace it and love it all Because now I know That I almost became The kind of person Who hurt me most Who shut me out Without taking a chance on me Now I’m aware of all the things I let go I regret and mourn them all But they belong to a past that I can’t change from which I can’t turn away But I’ll forever be thankful for having learned That I don’t need to be like the ones who hurt When there’s an immense power that comes from being open and vulnerable to love.

Vulnerable
I get the feeling that certain things aren’t meant for me but in spite of this I keep trying and trying even if I never get it right You might think why ever bother putting all this effort into things that aren’t meant to be Been stuck into this vicious game for longer than I can remember defeated all the time, but never surrendered Gambler’s fallacy, you may say and I’ve paid for each one of my mistakes Maybe it’s a matter of strategy Or maybe I’ve just lost my sanity Because looking for love to only find apathy Again and again Is such a nagging pain But I know that every false step Every heartache is bringing me closer to you, my lover So far it’s been the one and only thing that kept me going through it all You gave me strength Even if I haven’t met you yet Up to this day, I have nothing to lose Already went all in with a two of spades But I’ve paid my dues Now I know what to do No more wasting time On hellos turning into goodbyes I know next time when I’ll find you when I’ll make you mine Everything will be like I’ve always imagined or maybe better because you’re the only one who’s gonna matter.

Gambler’s Fallacy
I wish I had known who was standing in front of me, Before I had to watch him leave I wish I could have gone a bit deeper, trust his intentions, But when I’m scared all I listen to is my apprehension I wish I was brave enough to give us a shot and if you chose to let me go i know it was just my fault. And so it goes Bracing myself for the worst, going out of my way not to get hurt Building enormous walls and then beating myself up for it all My only hope is that you know You deserve all the love I was reluctant to give you Maybe someday, when we find our hearts to be relieved from all the things that are troubling them We can start all over again far away from this pain This was my miscalculation. I make many, nothing new. I hope it’s not too late to make it up to you.

Miscalculation
2 am At this ungodly hour everything reminds me that you’re gone. I’m here under the sheets And I don’t feel your cold feet Rubbing against mine anymore Broke down as if I lost a war Where the winner took it all All the good left in me And even if I know this wasn’t meant to be coming to terms with reality is hard Actually, it’s the worst part But I know I’ll get through the dark Because I do it every night I’ll wake up from this nightmare And I’ll see the daylight.

2 am
I don’t know why I want What I want from you As if I had no other option Than to fall back into this addiction As if you were the only choice I have The only voice I hear Among all this noise I know you’re not right for me But every time we get closer You abuse your power And take me over With that influence You have on me That doesn’t make me think clearly I don’t trust my judgment anymore I don’t even care to pretend Everything is under control I just want to be alone But I can’t do it if you keep showing at my door Standing there so tall Looking at me A fairytale prince That makes me want to believe One last time Or at least one more night You ask me one last dance One more chance to make it right We could be king and queen To rule the world Or even this empty town But our time has run out The spell is broken now And you disappeared without notice As I expected And all I am left with Is disenchantment.

Disenchantment
Oh! You Pretty Thing First time I saw you I thought Watch That Man I really wish he'd Rock N Roll with me All Nite because he looks like he's coming straight out of 1985. Unfortunately It Ain't Easy since you already got this China Girl but Where Are We Now? We made some Changes and finally Here Comes The Night we'll be turning down the lights covered in Ziggy Stardust, Dancing In The Streets, I never felt so right. I'm a Rebel Rebel living on a Blackstar you say Love Is Lost and just like you I Can't Give Everything Away but I now that All The Young Dudes ain't got a thing on you right now I'm in the Quicksand and can't find a way through. I'll be your Lady Stardust, you'll be my Starman we can be Heroes just for one night, or we can be us just for one day so come on, let's go rattle the stars And, maybe, in Five Years we'll discover if there really is Life on Mars?

Life On Mars?
She ain’t a ***** so stop whistling, that won’t do the trick you will only make her think you’re a real **** You see her walking down the street and she looks gorgeous from her head to her feet we all know that’s the girl you wanna meet but don’t you never ever dare to whistle while you stare only because a girl is dressed all nice it doesn’t give you the right to objectify. Oh, and you know one thing? Just because she has no wedding ring it doesn’t make you her next fling She already knows she’s beautiful and amazing and she really doesn’t need men gazing to know how much she’s worth she’s a girl, she’s been perfect from birth she dresses up for herself and that’s for sure she doesn’t even care about your attention and did I already mention she ain’t a ***** and you’re totally kitsch if you think you’ll get her attention this way you were never so wrong, babe.

She ain't a *****
You think you're cool, but you're not You think I'm stupid, but I won't be part of your plot You talk about love as you were the greatest hero When really you are worth less than a zero You're a loser and a user And even if you might know how to ****** her You know that eventually you'll lose her Cause I ain't no merchandise you take and leave after the sunrise. Fuckboi, you need to have a sit down with your ego Because it isn't over the moment you let it go I know it's easy to use, abuse, wear an excuse and you think it's none of your business when you cut me loose But I want to let you know that I'm here alive and well And even if at first you couldn't tell In this craziness I don't dwell The real hell is the one in your head and you're a fool if you think you left me dead I'm a girl, I know how to be alone It's not for ******** like you that I consider myself done. You might be hiding behind a smile, I can rock this frown Cause I know that I'll soon be watching you go down I'll have my girlfriends, you'll have none Not even the one with whom you begun She’s realized that you are worthless Cause you're a good guy only on the surface Fuckboi, you try hard but you'll stay clueless So don't come near me promising love Because if you hurt me I'll be ruthless I might seem nice, I might be a daydream But try to fool me and I'll make you scream I am the worst ******* nightmare, This is the fuckboi anthem You won't be able to bear.

The Fuckboi Anthem
Why don’t you love your body, girl? Did someone stupid make you feel insecure? Everyone is trying to tell you how you should behave and how you should look but ***** them, do what YOU want you didn’t come here to please anybody so go ahead and love your body Skinny, fat, curvy or thin what really matters is what’s under your skin I know you think there might be something wrong I’m here to remind you that you’re strong so if someone comes around saying that you’re ugly and fat don’t even think about it, that’s stupid chit-chat skinny doesn’t mean healthy and fat unhealthy have fun, live and eat what makes yourself happy ‘cause every body is beautiful any other comment is not going to be useful.
