Don't Try This At Home

Down on the floor
Trying to scream
Laughing at you
Crying on the concrete

It’s all a game
Ready, set, go
Just remember
Don’t try this at home.

No one’s home and no one cares
The difference between truth and dare
More than clothes ripped from your body
Neatly folded dirty laundry

Try to smile with your eyes
Real friends all have alibis
Melt like broken ice instead
Maybe it’s all in your head

It’s just a game
Ready, set, go
Promise me you
Won’t try this at home.

You’re only there to entertain
Didn’t even know her name
Never really had a chance
Give up on your innocence

Faster, higher, braver now
No one there to save you now
Faster, higher, braver yet
Falling with no safety net

Life is a game
Ready, set, go
Everyone is
Trying this at home.

    I really like this write, it tells a story that needs to be heard and I respect this story. Sad, love the kind of verses they are really clever and tell an individual segment of your story. Like the chorus like bit as well and how you changed it at the end to be everyone is doing it at home. ♥
