The Bed Soliloquy
Get up on legs, you’re alone, to stand you up
the world will never…
Sinking my head
in my arm
so caught up
in my own feelings
nothing got me right
close eyes to see the world
feel is bad
get up on legs
you’re alone
to stand you up
the world will never beg
Be just sad
Lying down on my bed
which got everything
still so caught up
Thought I broke myself
got happy that
it’s gonna be my sixteen
But what I am gonna do
get up on legs
you’re alone
to stand you up
the world will never….
Don’t learn to let somebody in
learn to let somebody go
be happy
learn to let go
World teaches you
You teach yourself
someone hurts
and then say they didn’t mean to
Don’t let that go
You make you
that’s all I have for you
None will come
None will say
None will raise
None will hurt
Let go
Don’t fall apart
get up on legs
you’re alone
to stand you up
the world will never beg
Don’t learn to let somebody in
learn to let somebody go
be happy and
learn to let go.
