Everyone I know is happy with someone

I was born to run

Mother thank you for giving me

Another disaster the think about

The thought of dying alone is all I have left

 

All my friends have children and people to go home to

Jesus Christ you don't understand

I think I'm so unwanted,

All my ex lovers pick druggies over me

So I bury myself in my work

Just to try to escape reality

 

I was hoping you would stay

But I know you won't

I won't be surprised when

You walk out that door

The scenario already came at my mind

 

I guess they'll be no Melody or Alucard

I was hoping someone could fall for me

 

All my friends have children and people to go home to

Jesus Christ you don't understand

I think I'm so unwanted,

All my ex lovers pick some over me

So I bury myself in my work

Just to try to escape reality

 

I can't hope but for low tonight

I'm sorry I can't be anyone you wanted

This book isn't going to end with a happy ending

Goddamn it I don't want to be another disaster
