Life is Not But Lyrics

[+ RJ]

Sitting with her headphones
The volume turned on high
Enough to hear the heavy beat
But she don't care don't ask why

Watching from the corner
While the world goes on its way
She's quiet for the moment, yes
But she's got a lot to say

Waiting for something to happen
Been through a lot by now
She's already made it this far
She don't know so don't ask how

Praying for the moment
When she can kiss this town goodbye
Holding on to that one thought
Allows her not to cry

Thinking about the past
Never helped to get her through
She tries to put it all behind
She don't miss them, don't ask who

Forgetting about what time it is
And what she has to do
She has no time to prioritize
No time to think things through

Worrying about something dumb
She wants to make the cut
As for what's been bothering her
She don't even know so don't ask what

Looking at broken picture frames
Glass shattered on the floor
She broke them quite a while back
When her happiness went out the door

Flashing back into her past
Where does it begin?
There was a time when she could smile
She don't remember, so don't ask when

Standing up it's time to go
Can't stay in one place for long
Tired of the same old lyrics
She hits the button to change the song

Hurting for a memory
Selfish but she doesn't care
Some place a long long time ago
She don't know so don't ask where

Listen to her story
She's got a lot to tell
The girl I'm talking about is me
Surprise surprise so listen well

You say it's you, but it sounds too much like me.

Anyways, that's really good. I like the improper grammar even though that normall bugs me to death. ^^

Oh I shoulda said.... not really me, just said it for the poem

[Ink]

Oh, well who is it then? Just random fiction? xD
Of course it doens't sound like me too, in that I don't particularly desire to get out of town, and I don't have broken picture frames and things... But much of it is similar too. ^^

It's not random fiction. Rather, a sort of compilation of many people I know.

[Ink]

Ah, okay ^^

Wow, that's actually one of my favorite poems by you. It flows really well, I like the ending of the verses when you say she doesn't remember/know so don't ask. It's really well constructed, and actually would fit a lot of people(especially teenagers). So, good job. ^^

Oh thanks! I'm fond of this one too
