Someone I Love Will Die
I was happy for a day in 2007 because I was in love with a girl
Who thought the world revolved around her,
Because of some famous painter relations and her crooked tooth smile,
She had a bad sense of style and thought that all guys loved her chest,
But she didn't know the best sex she'd never had
Was with a virgin writer who fell in love with her silly laughs and shifty eyes,
And I'm not too proud to say I think I'm more akin to Wilde
Than the quiet reflective type but when I walk these streets
Listening to the saddest songs I pretend I'm just a shy boy having a good time.
And after she left me I dreamt of walking on top of her dorm,
Looking down on her and spitting into her hair,
It's crude I know but driving these streets all night,
With a bottle of wine and calling friends drunk
Isn't how I imagined things would be,
Reading a book about a boy who's just like me,
Charlie never understood love either he was much too nervous
But on the inside he was the opposite, a teenage eccentric,
And always thinking, his mind running like a clock,
He was too scared to dance at school but content to just sit and watch,
The perk of being a wallflower is you always know just what to say,
To make the person you love leave you and go away.
She use to say I was two-faced but not in a bad way,
I was just more sincere around her
Even though I was always running away,
And she could never catch me but that wasn't my fault,
Honestly I was just afraid of you, with teeth in your pants,
And a lust for anything but romance,
I spent my weekdays writing you poetry in a notebook
Decorated with pictures of Morrissey,
And during the weekends I'd make you mix tapes
With obscure love songs.
