I am the shot that bounces off the net
I take off on the word "set"
the firework that explodes a minute too late
the girl who ditches every date
beating myself up over the things that I do
when my name comes up, people say "who?"
I say a lot of things that I don't mean
the truth is never as pretty as it seems
a peacemaker is hated for never putting up a fight
being reserved begs the question if everything's alright
I am becoming the person I never wanted to be
the truth is never as pretty as it seems
when I catch an eye, I lead boys to the edge of a cliff
I push them off and blow them a kiss
I get scared when I am touched
broken promises, I still have clutched
I push away while begging to stay
I am not worth being part of your day
I get attached and then blame you
I hate myself and you will to
I hope that by repeating what I wish to be called
beautiful, strong, kind, flawed
that I will become what I wish to be true
I am not what you think, I will ruin you
I am the goalie who misses the ball
I am the one who softens the fall
I am the mistake that makes you lose
I am the silence that chokes the truth
the thunderstorm on a sunny day
the reason people lie anyway
I am the puzzle piece that doesn't fit
I am a wall crumbling bit by bit
I will let you walk over and kick me down
every day feels like I am going to drown
I live under the weight of all of my wrongs
I try to find meaning in every song
I believe in happy endings that never come
I don't know where I'm going or where I'm from
I am sick of telling myself it will all be fine
I am tired of regretting that you aren't mine
I wanted a rainbow and willing to sit through the rain
I was left with a mountain of depression and pain
I am the giver who never receives
this party isn't fun, I want to leave
I am the shot that bounces off the net
and every once in a while
tips in
