Don't look too proud, darling, because dignity is dripping off the Swarovski crystals on this broken chandelier and your name is the last thing they would spell out if they came crashing down. A bunch of boisterous words & boastful stories won't get you very far except for a couple steps [s d a r w k c a b] And if you wanted to dabble a chord on my heart strings, it would have been easier to not say anything at all, but your once dormant thoughts began pouring out of your once silent lips in some childish attempt to rattle some sort of r      a      t       o        e       c      i       n And behind those innocent eyes lie only craters you dug out of yourself because of your own selfish pride. So don't act too proud, darling, speak a little louder and you'll end up biting off your own t   o   n   g   u   e   . gd
