Take A Look
They say
Take a look at Susan
She’s not gonna stay
Look at what you’re losin’
Susan was like no one else
But nobody saw that
She never loved herself
But damn she was somethin’ to look at
Susan said she was a goner
But no one believed
Nobody stopped her
She was so relieved
When her heart stopped
Nobody could breathe
As her tears dropped
And her mind took ease
Susan smiled
Like nobody could compare
Her mind textiled
More beautiful than others dared
They say
Take a look at Susan
She’s not gonna stay
Look at what you’re losin’
They say
Take a look at Charlie
He’s not gonna stay
So take in what you can see
Charlie was unique
Nobody saw that
He felt so weak
But damn he was somethin’ to look at
Charlie said goodbye
But no one heard
Nobody heard him cry
As he hid and cursed
When his heart stopped
Nobody could breathe
As his tears dropped
And his mind took ease
Charlie smiled
Like nobody even dared
He ran for miles
And no one cared
They say
Take a look at Charlie
He’s not gonna stay
So take in what you can see
They say
Take a look at me
I’m not gonna stay
So leave me be
I was nothing
Everyone knew that
I wanted something
But I was nothing worth lookin’ at
I said hello
But no one knew
Nobody would know
What I would do
When my heart stopped
My song did end
As my tears dropped
Only then
Would I smile
Like I didn’t care
All the while
They would stare
They say
Take a look at me
I’m not gonna stay
So leave me be
