Can you hear me

Sweetheart

Wherever I can’t help but think

Too loud

I can’t be everywhere

I won’t be anyone

For you

I’ve tried

It didn’t work out

All that well for me

I can’t be that girl

I’m not that silent

F*****g s**t

Grinding with you

Up on the dance floor

Although I’m guilty of

Looking at her

With envious eyes

DON’T LOOK DOWN

Darling

Can you hear this, now

I’m screaming thoughts

At you

As I walk by

With a slightly ticked off expression

Inviting you to inquire

Because I really wish

You cared

Even when

I know

You don’t

It’s crushing enough to know the lies

Hidden behind that smile

YOU WERE NEVER SORRY

Don’t bat your lashes at me

Too bad she was too good

To be me

Accept these apologies

Of knowing that I’m

Never gonna be enough

To fill the spaces

Between your fingers

The space between

You and me

What more could I ask

Leave me alone

Don’t smile

Don’t laugh

Don’t make a fool of yourself for me

I’m sick of false advertising

Hello

Are you listening

What did I just say?

I said that I should hate you

For who you think I should be

Well there’s still that small percentage

MAYBE THEY LOVE ME MORE

Too bad

For you

Maybe it’s just a little too late

For forced apologies

SMILE LIKE YOU MEAN IT

You know it makes my day

Just to have someone quite as content

And making me that way, too

Just something else that I’ve never been

Used to

Tomorrow looks a little glum

Maybe ill resist the urge

Maybe ill forget your number

But those seven digits

Are extraordinary

Check that bottle for side effects

Because I’m usually not that much

Of an emotional wreck

Here I am, anyway

So remember the day

That I smile and laugh

So forgettably

And yet that’s the way

You will remember me

Free spirited and light hearted

Never cared much for labels

But don’t get me wrong

Loud doesn’t count

With me

I prefer the opposing sides

Opposites attract

What’s averaging out

Have to do with this…

 

THEN
AM I THINKING
TOO LOUD
