• Yes there were ups
    And there were downs
    There were “I need to be alone”s
    And “I wish you were here right now”s

    We laughed
    We cried
    Told the absolute truth
    And brutally lied

    Soon each volume of dignity
    And every page of poise
    Was stored upon the highest shelf
    Forgotten in all the noise

    Too busy with shouting
    Fighting to get the last word
    That the composure we once had
    Failed to be heard

    It’s all so cliché
    Everyone’s seen it before
    And I know this is expected
    That everyone says it
    But I can’t take any more.
