[hometext] => #3 in my Avril series, inspired by Sk8er Boi. You'd never know it though. About a little sort of triangle that used to exist between myself, my boyfriend and his ex.
[bodytext] => She always looked like you I tried, but I didn't know how to Feeling on the outside I closed my eyes and just tried to hide But I found I couldn't will it all away She was dark, she was cold How was I supposed to keep control? Kept my feet in the light You still let me walk with you at night But I felt so out of place and in the way Wanting to be like you But you said nobody else would do You told me "never change" But somehow my mind got rearranged Came to you in the shadows and there I stayed They all said I was gone I told them "I'm still here and you're wrong" Then looked in the mirror And saw the awful truth I had feared Became what I hated and my soul decayed And now I've seen myself Become one with the darkness itself I've fallen so far down You can never hope to reach me now I guess I wasn't good enough for myself Now when I see her face My will disappears without a trace How did I get down here Where I can't even fathom her fear? I don't think she'd ever see me in herself So it was all a waste I fell so far, so fast, in such haste You were six feet under Now I'm at twelve feet and life's a blur I wanted to be like you, now I hate you I'm too damaged to live And there's nothing left inside to give I've lost my faith in love What was I ever so afraid of? And why did I think I had to be like you?
