I'll paint you a picture with words "I miss her"
We still talk like everyday
But we don't talk in the same way that we used to
I'll move on and forget you
We could never see eye to eye
But either way

I like her 'cause she's smart, headstrong and independent
She puts me in my place, but I don't know where I stand
And if only I could find the words, or muster up the nerve to tell her
I'll never forget her
And she'll always have a part of me

Don't let me go down this road again
We both know where this ends
In a storm of feeling, I'm so unappealing
I can't play these games

I like her 'cause she's smart, headstrong and independent
She puts me in my place, but I don't know where I stand
And if only I could find the words, or muster up the nerve to tell her
I'll never forget her
And she'll always have a part of me

I like her 'cause she's smart, headstrong and independent
She puts me in my place, but I don't know where I stand
And if only I could find the words, or muster up the nerve to tell her
I'll never forget her
And she'll always have a part of me

She'll always have a part of me
She'll always have a part of me

I was falling for a girl who would ask me to come over
Just for a day, when her parents were away
Now all I can do is lay in my room
Fall asleep, dream of you
Then wake up and do nothing about it

I fell for a boy who could never ever let me walk home that way
'Cause you gotta be safe
So hold back your views
We're both leaving soon
I can't fall back on you
'Cause that's not what I do ...

[x3]
She hates it when I shout these words
But I'll still sing for you
I'll still sing for you
I'll still sing for you

I am hanging in the bathroom at the biggest party of the fall
I could stay right here or disappear, and nobody'd even notice at all

I'm a creeper in a bathroom 'cause my buddy kinda left me alone
But I'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly, or pretend to check a text on my phone

Everything felt fine when I was half of a pair
Now through no fault of mine, there's no other half there

Now I'm just Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom, at a party
Forget how long it's been
I'm just Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
No you can't come in!
I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave
And picking at grout as I softly grieve
I'm just Michael who you don't know, Michael flyin' solo, Michael in the bathroom by himself
Oh, by himself

I am hiding, but he's out there, just ignoring all our history
Memories get erased, and I'll get replaced, with a newer, cooler version of me
And I hear a drunk girl sing along to Whitney through the door.. I wanna dance with somebody!
And my feelings sink, 'cause it makes me think: now there's no one to make fun of drunk girls with anymore!

Now it's just Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
I half regret the beers
Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
As I choke back the tears
I'll wait as long as I need, until my face is dry
Or I'll just blame it on weed, or something in my eye!
I'm just Michael who you don't know, Michael flyin' solo
Michael in the bathroom by himself!

Knock, knock, knock, knock
They're gonna start to shout soon
Knock, knock, knock, knock
Oh hell yeah, I'll be out soon
[MICHAEL & ENSEMBLE:]
Knock, knock, knock, knock
[MICHAEL:]
It sucks you left me here alone..
[MICHAEL & ENSEMBLE:]
Knock, knock, knock, knock
[MICHAEL:]
Here in this teenage battle zone..
[MICHAEL & ENSEMBLE:]
Clang, clang, clang, clang
[MICHAEL:]
I feel the pressure blowing up..
[MICHAEL & ENSEMBLE:]
Bang, bang, bang, bang
[MICHAEL:]
My big mistake was showing up..
[MICHAEL & ENSEMBLE:]
Splash, splash, splash, splash
[MICHAEL:]
I throw some water in my face
And I am in a better place
I go to open up the door
But I can't hear knocking
Anymore

And I can't help but yearn
For a different time
And then I look in the mirror
And the present is clearer
And there's no denying, I'm just..

At a party
Is there a sadder sight than...
Michael in the bathroom at a party
This is a heinous night
I wish I stayed at home in bed watching cable porn
Or wish I offed myself instead
Wish I was never born!
I'm just Michael who's a loner
So he must be a stoner
Rides a PT Cruiser
God he's such a loser
Michael flyin' solo
Who you think that you know
Michael in the bathroom by himself
Oh, by himself
Oh, by himself
All you know about me is my name
Awesome party
I'm so glad I came

Cut myself into pieces easy to chew

Carve me up into someone you’d like to choose till I’m only pieces of you

So

You can say you love me but words ain’t enough

Hearts are wild creatures
That’s why our ribs are cages

I stare at my reflection in the mirror
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf
No, no, no, no
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are
Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah
The more I try the less it's working, yeah,
'Cause everything inside me screams, no, no, no, no, yeah
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
There's nothing wrong with who you are
Yes, no's, egos, fake shows
Like woo, just go, and leave me alone
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight
With a smile , that's my own
That's my own, no, no, no, no, no
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hello
My name is joe
And I like fro yo
My bro

No one deserves to be forgotten
No one deserves to fade away
No one should come and go
And have no one know he was ever even here
No one deserves to disappear
To disappear
Disappear

Conner Murphy

Today is going to be a good day and here’s why:
Because today, at least you’re you and that’s enough.
