Problems (Used To Know)

Blaming my problems on everyone else,
Telling everyone else I’m
Blaming my problems on my lack of sleep.

Will they ever
Wake up to see
I’m sleeping fine?

Can’t turn your head
For more than five seconds
To ask what’s wrong
Before his lips
Become too irresistible?

You sicken me.
You might want to turn your head
Again
Before I throw up all over you.

He calls you baby
And buys you dinner
And it makes you smile
Because someone’s finally
Paying attention.

The more attention you get,
The less attention you give.
You’re oblivious to the world around you.
You’re oblivious to everyone’s sorrow.
You’re oblivious to your own.

You’ve changed.
I miss the girl who now hides behind
American Eagle and alcohol.
I miss the girl from
My picture albums on the beach.
I miss the girl
I used to know.

Lacey,
I really like this.
But I might need a bit of an explaination.
Love you,
keep it real.
recycle.

Beware ;

I'm not afraid to ask stupid questions,
I love flowers,
I get left out sometimes,
I sing all day,
I'm afraid of losing my memory,
I create new identities for myself,
I'm a straight edge,
I cut up magazines,
I love doing crafts,
I like big teddy bears,
I invented the Mutual Palm Tickle with Morgan,
I try to see the beauty in everything,
I need acoustic songs,
I don't wear expensive clothes,
I like rainy days,
I'm freaked by fish and toes,
I don't wear lots of makeup,
I never make my bed,
I laugh really easily,
I love nail polish,
I change my mind a lot,
I don't take myself very seriously,
I like buttons,
I live by quotes,
I love France, and everything french,
I always say sorry when it's not my fault,
I live in the country,
I don't care if you're popular by their standards,
I brush my teeth for a long time,
You will have to live with the fact that
