"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." -A Cinderella Story


It was a mistake
Accidentally calling someone out
I feel so bad I just
Want to take it all back

 

I didn't mean
To make them hurt or to even
Put myself under
The gossip spotlight

 

I can't pretend I'm okay
I was fine in my memories
Now it's inside of my head

 

These complications I can't
Keep making bets with history
Now I'm wishing I was dead

 

No matter where I go
Or what I do my words
Come back to me
Even though I've got you
Telling me
"You'll be fine
You'll be fine
Just don't commit social suicide"

 

"She's bad" they say
Because of every word they claim
I said
I can't believe I've let this happen to me

 

I can't pretend it doesn't hurt
I'm not fine now, can't you see?
The pounding's inside of my head

 

The rumors take to my throat
They are slowly killing me
But honestly, I should let them

 

No matter where I go
Or what I do my words
Come back to me
Even though I've got you
Telling me
"You'll be fine
You'll be fine
Just don't commit social suicide"

 

I don't understand why they are

still talking about me

I thought it'd be over by now

 

I wish I could take it all back
So it'd become part of history
I need to make it all stop

 

No matter where I go
Or what I do
This rumor follows me
But if I prove to them I'm not what they say I am
I know it might be true
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
I won't commit social suicide
