Songs For Souls *Song 6* Song Title: Insane Sometimes Inspiration: Insane Sometimes by Grace VanderWaal (the title) and something that happened to me very recently with one of my "best friends" :'( Time taken to write: About 20 minutes Shoutouts - @citnamor
I gave you my secrets. I told you to take it or leave it and for a while you kept it, but I know I should have left it. Cause you're an actress playing a part, acting in front of all the big stars. And you're so good that they hire you to pretend to be my friend. Why? Why? Why? Oh, Why? I told you all my secrets and you pretended to zip your lips. But you're an actress. I know I should have left it. How many times have I wanted to burn this world down? Too many to count, too many to count. And how many times have I walked into the same trap? Too many to count, too many to count. How much do you get paid per day to be my friend? How much money do you earn every time it's your turn… to be my friend? (Saying in a speaking voice in a sarcastic voice: I love you too…) I can see myself in a day, rising to your bait. I thought I was smarter than this or is this my fate? In a few months, I see myself making the same old mistake. Why don’t I just listen to my mind? Well, I guess we’re insane sometimes! And you go to rehearsals to pretend to care about me. You are the girl that I see in my worst dreams. And then you memorize your lines like a puppet on a stick. You make it seem like you’re not an actress. I gave you my secrets. I told you to take it or leave it and for a while you kept it, but I know I should have left it. ‘Cause you’re an actress playing a part, acting in front of all the big stars. And you’re so good that they hire you to pretend to be my friend. Why can't I just keep my mind? Well, we're a little insane sometimes. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. I told you my weaknesses and you pretended to zip your lips. But you’re an actress. I know I should have left it. You flash me your charming fake smile, when your lips are red and your hair is wild. You’re nothing more than a puppet in disguise with your braided hair and black button eyes. Why do you make people lose their minds? Well, I guess we’re all insane sometimes! You go to Broadway because you’re so good. You had everyone in the whole world fooled. Your fake smile and laugh tricked me, I thought we were friends. But all good times have to end. And I told you my flaws. I told you to take it or leave it and for a while you kept it, but I know I should have left it. Cause you’re an actress playing a part, acting in front of all the big stars. And you’re so good that they hire you to pretend to be my friend. Oh no. Well, we're all insane sometimes. (sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)
