Go on and give me the cold shoulder It fits your icy personality Don’t bring your pompous nose out of the air To look at the people below you You’re better than that now A little insignia on your clothing Has you forgetting who your friends were When you needed them most Well next time you need a friend You can turn to that insignia Because I am a stubborn child at heart Who holds on to everything
I cling to the day we met A couple of anxious teenagers preparing to step into adulthood Watching movies past midnight Downing an entire six pack of pineapple juice Not sure where the next year would take us
I remember the day I learned to trust you In silent desperation I opened up to you And showed you the fringed edges of my soul The parts of myself that have been bruised by the short life I’ve lived
I can’t forget the day you came to me in tears And I was there to comfort you And even then you didn’t know why you were crying We sat and cried together Because we realized how cruel people can be
But more then anything I hold on to the way your eyes no longer meet mine I can’t get over the way you choose to deny my existence Like I am a lowly creature And you, with your lofty gaze and your newfound love for yourself have better things to look at
So keep your eyes in the sky, because someday that is where I will be And you will have to look at the ground, if you want to pretend I don’t exist anymore.
