Stuck in My Mind

This might be a little above you

And you might not be ready for it

But It’s not like I don’t love you


You made it feel like I was accepted

Like I could be something better

2 people that could be connected

Like maybe I could even get her

Until I was rejected

And it left me aching like it was an infection


Even before we were gonna meet, you weren’t even trying

You seriously made me feel off of my feet, like I was flying

But even then I tried my hardest

You just don’t want me and I don’t want to start this

And I’m sorry

But I wasn’t gonna give up

Even tho it was tough stuff

I want to fight

I want to try

to see if my sight

Is broken and why

I really thought we were meant to be, but then you left me

Because of how others felt

And how they would melt

Because they couldn’t help

But fight against us, knock down this shelf

And then I tried my hardest to move on

Secretly knowing that all those feelings weren’t gone

I finally moved on maybe a little strong

And you talked to me about how you were sad I moved so fast

But you didn’t understand I had to move fast to outrun the past

Because the feelings I had for you they were gonna last


I was completely stuck in the middle

And I could never mask the way that I felt

So I told you again

And it started again

A situation I remembered

A situation that made me short tempered

That made my heart feel like it was stuck in a blender


But i guess this is it

I just burned some bridges

I just burned these images

I’m moved by all these hinges

And all they are telling me

Is to not let you yell at me

And to be free of this little thing

That was holding me back and if it’s the only thing you bring To the table

Then forget our labels

And all our fables

Watch as we tip like ladles

And I grab that table you bring nothing to, and watch me flip it

I’m gonna grab this rejection and grip it-by the throat

Tighten my grip and

watch it choke

Because I don’t like the way you treat me

I don’t like the way you think of me

I’m trying to learn and grow

And find the truth, did you Make me great, no

But now I’ve burned these bridges

The longest stretch of the book, and the loudest. Most of these carry a date and an album.
