I'll Make This All Work

Don't yell at me so much
For you're getting close to the core
It's getting to the point
Where I can't take this anymore
You drop me off at school
I make sure that you don't see
The tears that start to fall
From you yelling at me

I go in through the doors
And up the stairs
And I try not to notice
All the curious stares
'Why would she be crying?
She's always so good?
What could she be hiding,
Up underneath that hood?'
Today I can't smile
Today I can't hold back
I open up my locker
And throw in my backpack
I slammed the thing tight
And with a notebook in hand
I descended the hallway
Before I could snap like a rubber band

I went back down the stairs
Out a door that was unprotected
And ran like lightening
Something everybody least expected
Cuz I couldn't even think
About going to my class
Not with tears in my eyes
I didn't want to answer
If anybody asked,

"Hey what's wrong?"
Like you freaking care
Those stupid questions
Today, I just couldn't bear

I found myself in a park,
Luckily no one was there
Except a few funny geese
At least they didn't stare
Sitting on the grass
Well away from the geese
I finally let it all out
My explosion was released
I cried for an hour
Maybe two, maybe three
I didn't know how badly
I had it inside me.
After the tears
Is when you really start to think.
Is this where I wanna go?
Am I destined to always sink?

I wrote everything down on that notebook
For I didn't want to forget,
I didn't want to remember
I didn't want to regret
But I had to write it all down,
I had to figure it all out
Before it was too late
Before I lost my faith.

So once it was all settled
I walked over to a store
Making sure cops didn't see me,
What an interesting story that would be.
I bought me a map
Some food and a cap
And headed toward the highway
I wouldn't look back

No one would come after me
My friend Alie might be hurt
But I'll see her again,
Don't worry; I'll make this all work.
