Sunburn

Michelle Malone

Do you feel like no one else will ever love you again
And you think you'll be alone forever
And you tried your best for years but you just couldn't make it work
Now you feel just like a great big failure

So you took a chance
It didn't turn out like you planned
When you're walking in the sunshine
You might get sunburned

Do you feel like you've given everything you had to give
Just like that you're world has lost its brilliance
Your bubble wasn't burst, no, it just drifted away from view
And, and slowly you lost all your resilience

So you took a chance
It didn't turn out like you planned
When you're walking in the sunshine
You might get sunburned

There's a bowling ball inside your throat
That weights all your words down
It feels like you're all alone
The only person left here in this town

People talk and judge behind your back as if you're made of stone
It's not like you're not hurting
It's temporary, everything, your pain and dreams and plans
There's no tourniquet to stop the changes
