Girl: “I’m as pure as water
Can’t you realize I’m someone’s daughter?”
Girl: “Once I give you love, you’ll just trade it away
Know that I’m a woman who has things to say.”
Boy: “Even water can make things boil
We’re like water mixing with oil.”
Boy: “What you say never makes sense
Please stop using that as a defense.”
Girl: “How do I mend a broken heart?
My entire world has fallen apart.”
Girl: “I want to run, I want to hide
From all the pain you caused me inside.”
Boy: “Emotionally numb.
Do you feel them?”
Boy: “You act so still and frozen,
Yet you dimly sparkle like a dying gem.”
Girl: “I know I make you drool
But see that I don’t want you, fool.”
Girl: “You’ll just use me as a tool
This conversation is over, now excuse me while I go back to school.”
Boy: “There’s so many fish in the sea
Can’t be too hard to find another for me.”
Boy: “You’d only use me to go on another shopping spree
At least apart, I’ll finally feel free!”
