*Lament*

I went out to a bar one night Just wanting to forget... The actions and the words you used Just the other night left me so upset... For you I drank the liquor long More then I should I do admit And I tossed myself in pieces to the floor Simply trying to forget... But then you came and found me And its me you're starting to reject... For you came and picked up my tossed pieces And I am left crying with regret... I just wanted to be wanted And respect, love and need are so hard to get... But you turn away feeling over crowded Afraid we appear publicly as a set... I wonder is it such a crime to be In a pair with me? Why are you so upset... You'd avoid me so eagerly, And just the thought makes me want to forget... I went out to the bar one night Just wanting to forget....
