Layed out and broken,

my heart is choking,

As I drew near, you began to fear,

I need a beer, to open up enough to fear,

slipping ever deeper into dispair,

do my parents even care?

A girl give me a glance, 

my heart begins to prance,

I found out about the note,

my heart is broke,

In all corners enemies lie,

none willing to hear my alibi,

so scared and tried,

I'm tempted to cry,

Why try?
