Everybody's everything

Everybody's everything.
I'm nobody's nothing
but I don't really mind to walk alone.
So damn tired of this ringing cell phone.

Hello, hello, I wanna go home.
And no. I don't want to talk about
my overgrown accident prone
cardiac muscle tone.

Too damn tired to moan and groan.
Guess I finally got a life of my own.

Maybe I was just blind
but I don't mind to be declined
if to a solitary fate, I'm to be consigned.

Your silence is so very kind.

I'm not maligned that you finally did find
something that's got me quite outshined
but I don't want to see you intertwined
I'd like to keep my piece of mind.

I walk. I talk. I gawk. I mock.
I overflow with rhyming double timing schlock.
And when I feel like it,
sometimes I rock.
If you don't understand my noisy cross talk.
Smile, sit down, and I'll try to sweet talk.

It doesn't matter what your friends think.
It doesn't matter what my friends think
It doesn't matter whether or not this would "work".
It matters what you think.
It matters what you feel.

It matters that when I think of you I smile.
It matters that I fall into your eyes and can't climb out
It matters that you smile back at me
It matters that I miss you

It matters that sometimes I stop and think of you
those sometimes I have a little trouble seeing
Sometimes a little trouble breathing.
That matters too.

But ignore me.
That's just the tequila talking.

Everybody's everything.
I'm nobody's nothing
but I don't really mind to walk alone.
So damn tired of this ringing cell phone.

Breaking it in, breaking up,
falling out, shacking up.
Sigh.
I don't really want to know
just how far their "we" will go
Why can't they all just shut the heck up?

So damn tired of this ringing cell phone.
Why don't they all just leave me alone?
