To the one that got away

SITTIN IN A FIRE OF SHAME

DYING TO GO OUT IN THE RAIN

IN HOPES THAT IT MIGHT WAS OF THE TAINT

THAT’S STUCK TO MY FLESH LIKE DRY PAINT

ALL DAY LONG I GO

ANSWERS I DON’T KNOW

FIND ANOTHER SHOW

TO RID MYSELF OF WOE

SITTING IN A FIRE OF SHAME WISHING I WAS OUT IN THE RAIN.

CALL MY NEW GIRL TO LIGHTEN MY MOOD

CAUGHT HER CHEATING WITH SOME OTHER DUDE

I’M LOST AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

I GUESS I’LL GO AND HAVE ME A BREW

SITTING IN THE RAIN

FIGHTING WITH THE PAIN

THAT’S PINGING IN MY BRAIN

AND DRIVING ME INSANE

SITTING HERE WITH NOTHING TO DO

THIS WHOLE SONG WAS INSPRIED BY YOU…..

this whole song was inspired and written for her, not us

your readers. thanks for sharing. All caps is shouting out loud. It makes you look desperate. I know you are but shouting is not the way to say it. You shout, people close their ears. You said what most of us have felt in no new or very expressive way. I hear your passion, but why show your personal feelings like an exhibitionist? Rather think, while you write, have I got anything to give? cheers, Jess
