I just want everyone to be happy, why can't I be? My head hurts, as my heart parts from my body, is this what's left of me? Detached numbness I feel, is this the calm before the storm? How will I go on, without your presence as the norm? I am a rubberband, pulled tightly by those who care for me. I bend and pull in knots, when will I snap completely? Inevitable, but I socialize my way into solitude, mournful of my own attitude. You're such a good person, it's my fault it is my fault. I never wanted you locked up in a vault, though I'm now safe from your preying on my insecurities, my mind is still busy and full of formalities. Everyone thinks I'm better off waging war, but I just wanted peace. Still, you needed to be gone, you weren't even on my lease. The feelings still shake me that I cannot release, Regret and Remorse Your love a drug highway, I GPS'd the course. Driving forever, Stranded The love ran out, I searched and I pleaded but there's no fuel about. Don't ever forget that I care, even if to you it seems wrong. One Day I'll convince you, in Rhyme, and in Song. I will remind you, it wasn't farewell, but goodbye. When I told you I loved you, it was never a lie. I still just want everyone to be happy, why can't I?

Woah.
I just want everyone to be happy, why can't I be? My head hurts, as my heart parts from my body, is this what's left of me? Detached numbness I feel, is this the calm before the storm?
