I’m soaked through from my head to my feet, And I’m not hungover, cause I didn’t even sleep. My friends have gone to share a cigarette, And I’m lonely, I admit it, but I hold no regret. I’m drenched with rain, and it’s all so strange, Am I not myself, or have I just changed? How can I be myself if I don’t know who I am? I’m feeling things, I never thought I’d feel, And it’s hard to believe, that any of this is real, I ask myself, “is it really worth it?” I don’t know about you, but for me, this is far from perfect. I’m drenched with rain, and it’s all so strange, Am I not myself, or have I just changed? How can I be myself if I don’t know who I am?

Reading tweets on a Sunday night, About The Only Way Is Essex, I scoff and wipe my tears, And I’m feeling quite pathetic. Flicking through the digital channels, And there’s never nothing good on, Switch on to MTV, And I hear a terrible song. And I don’t want to be, Alone with my Tv. X2 I’m single and free, And it feels like a disease. Cause I don’t want to be, Alone with my Tv. I know there’s a time and place, For this silly reminiscing, But perhaps it isn’t you, But those times that I am missing. I wonder how I’ll manage, Tell myself” just another day”, But I stop and think to myself, I’ve become another cliché. If some told me that I could forget you, Then I’d tell them where to shove it, Cause it’s better to love and lose, Then to live a life without it.

And I remember when I called you, in the middle of the night, And I thought that it was over, and my knuckles turned bright white, But in the morning I was woke up, I was plucked up off the floor, And you told me it was alright, and you let me through your door. And I remember when I got lost, found myself down in a ditch, Felt my body purge itself, and felt my brain begin to twitch, But you steadied me and calmed me, and told me that I was good, Said that I made you feel happy, and I felt that I really could. For a while I stopped my howling, you made everything alright, And we didn’t need to argue, and we didn’t need to fight, We’d kiss out in the rain, and we’d wrestle on my bed, But after a while, my woes got into your head, And we laughed and kissed and loved, it was pretty hard to beat, But I found it hard to smile, and you found it to eat. I still cared for you, you helped me through, And I hope you know, I’ll never forget you. You were there when I got shaky, but it must have got too much, You decided to put yourself first, you decided you’d had enough, And I promise that I tried, to help you through all that I had, And I know sometimes I wavered, but I don’t think I was bad, I got too much to handle, I must have made you feel old, But I promised that I’d help you, in my head I just saw goldz, And I know that it was broken, but I thought it could be rebuilt, But all that I have left, are all my friends, and all my guilt. I still cared for you, you helped me through, And I hope you know, I’ll never forget you.
