A I A I


I'm shallow now

A cup once too full has been drained by the shallowness of others

I used to love so easily, now I ask myself how

All I want is to help people feel better

I don't know how to be alone anymore

And even as I say I want to help people I hurt everyone

I can promise a girl left and right that I love her and I just like being with her, but I know on the inside that it's all to get her body

Anything can happen they say

I remember hoping we'd last forever

At times I'll just sit and think about the night I asked you to marry me after dinner

I can't make myself care about people after you

Again I think, I'm shallow

I'm shallow, and I like it
