Just a Girl
She's 5'6"
100 and <clears throat> pounds
That's the girl
Who's always annoyed by the class clown
She's quiet a lot
But she smiles with her friends
She plays piano all day
The music never ends
Black hair
Brown eyes
A love for softball she can't disguise
But when she goes home
At the end of the day
She can't hide her feelings
A perfect girl? NO WAY!
Underneath the smile
That's shown to all her friends
Lies a dark past
With, to her, no end
The names she was called
"Stinky! Medusa! Loner!" and all
Remain in her head
And just help her fall
She walks around campus
And sees the parents of her peers
"They seem so happy together" she thinks
Hers haven't been that way in years
Her mom and her dad
They make her life a drag
All they do is fight and fight
Until the police come
It just made her sad
Until she made acquaintances
And soon they were her friends
Man, she was so happy!
The joy just had no end
And then one day
He had came along
A very close friend
But not for so long...
He asked her to be his girlfriend!
It was so great
And she thought she liked him
She'd never forget that day
But then it all went south
When summer break came
He cheated on her!
She'd never been hurt that way
That pain made her think
About her past, and her life
So she wanted to end it all
With an old kitchen knife
But then came her way
A friend, another guy
He talked her out of her disastrous mistake
And now he's the love of her life
Now, why did I tell you this?
Because now you know
The one piece of me
I thought I'd never let go
So can you keep a secret?
Will anyone else know?
Well, I don't really care anymore
So I just let it show
