Your hair is already dry but you’re not ready yet
For most people
it would be the end of the day but staying up late
is how you avoid the world’s problems
But really it’s your own because it seems everything
bad happens under the sun
While the moon asks you why do you come here
You expect too much

There’s someone like that in every town
But you fell in love with him
And he injected you with what everyone tries to avoid
You had too much time to spare
Whatever amount he needed didn’t matter anyway
It was going to happen
You were ready to write the story of your life
But it became his

You didn’t even get nominated as supporting actress
That’s all it really was
The man who runs your life while you live for him
But now he’s on your mind
It can never happen again like that but you know
You’re weak
Ten years have passed and you’re still over your head
Because that life is too hard to resist
