Last Saturday: Original


 I wrote this song last summer, and it's the first song I ever posted. To me, it represents a lot of vulnerability. I made this recording with one of my best friends last winter, and I'm proud of and grateful for it. I hope it can mean something for you, too. <3

I saw the sweet one
That my friends told me
Would ask me out and
He never called me.
I saw the one with
The skinny legs I
Sat with for so long,
We sat for so long.
And then we saw your ex-girl
She was beautiful
All lanky legs and curls
I felt pitiful
And there I was
With you but without your eyes
There I was
With you but without your mind
And I cried
I'm not like this
Sometimes I just lose it
When reminders pile on
And you came to ask me
What was hurting
I couldn't say you
So I shut down.
We got so close
You wouldn't let me
Pass until I told
You what was happening
And then I panicked
I felt so sick
And then you walked away and left me
With a heartache
And you wouldn't say a word
To me all night
Don't understand why you care
If I'm all right.
'Cause here I am,
With you if you'd like me, dear,
Here I am,
Wishing it would all get clear.
And I cried
I'm not like this
Sometimes I just lose it
When reminders pile on
And you came to ask me
What was hurting
I couldn't say you so I shut down.
We got so close
You wouldn't let me
Pass until I told
You what was happening
And then I panicked
I felt so sick
And then you walked away and left me
With a heartache
