I grew up in a small hometown
I loved and laughed
I was never afraid to show myself for who I am
I walked the town I had lived in for as long as I could remember
I met a ******* those prideful walks
She made me feel small
That girl with the kitten smile made me feel weak
I had never seen her in my hometown
This place I called mine
The memories I have of her are small and frayed
She loved me and I loved her
She was the wonder of my world
She was gone as quick as a wave
Now my world is a tragedy
and my hometown full of misery.
I guess misery is the greatest tragedy.
I guess my hometown is inside me.
