In which courtesy gets in my way

They don't care to ask

I shouldn't care about their cares

But I'm falling

Falling harder every day

Falling back into thirteen

And I have had a headache

(Pounding not through just my head

but my whole body

With every heartbeat)

Since seven-o-clock

I did not want

To tell you so
