That Girl Was a Teenage Catastrophe

This is a one-shot entry for the Girls, I Do Adore writing contest.

You don't know me
Like you knew me
You stopped listening
The moment that I needed you the most

You can't see me
Like you saw me
Truth comes easy
But it's hard for you to pull me from the ground

So I scream, scream because it hurts
Your every word
Cuts me inside and leaves me worse
There's no way back
And what if there was?
You'd still be you, and
I'd still need to say goodbye

There is beauty
In the dark side
I'm not frightened;
Without it I could never feel the sun

Nothing will change no matter what you say
I'm still gonna be the same
The harder we try,
The harder that we fight
Can't get it right

So I scream, scream because it hurts
Your every word
Cuts me inside and leaves me worse
There's no way back
And what if there was?
You'd still be you, and
I'd still need to say goodbye

Say goodbye. . .

These lyrics are excerpts from the song "Say Goodbye," by Ashlee Simpson.
