this. is. war.
every line is about who i don’t wanna write about anymore… hope you come down with something they can’t diagnose don’t have the cure for holding on to your grudge, oh it’s so hard to have someone to love and keepin’ quiet is hard, cause you can’t keep a secret if it never was a secret to start. at least pretend you didn’t wanna get caught… ...
