I told them there was "nothing going on"
Then I scolded myself
I asked, "What are you thinking?!"
Then I remembered:
These guys are my friends, but that's it: They're GUYS
They might be there for laughs when we're bored
Or to say "I've got your back" when I get into trouble
But they weren't there to listen
They have the attention spans of ferrets
It's either "Shut up" or "Get over it, dude"
Then there's my girlfriends
Always there to listen
Never there to judge
But I don't want to tell them
They feel bad
Sometimes worse than I do
I don't want to add my burdens to theirs
They do so much for me
But I can never do anything for them
It's like things are one-sided
They never, ever change
And, finally, my one and only
My true girlfriend
My lover
I can't stand to tell her
She already worries about me
I don't want her to, but she's stubborn
Heh, just like me
I don't wanna make it worse
I don't want her to have to worry
So, I made a vow
I promised myself
"They'll never see me cry"
"I'll never, ever let it happen"
"I don't want them to worry anymore"
"So I'll keep it to myself"
"I won't let them know"
"My guyfriends, my girlfriends, and my lover"
"They'll all just see me how I am"
"I will live as if I have nothing to lose, and everything to lose"
"Like I have nothing to gain, and everything to gain"
"I'll tell them nothing's going on"
"And pretend that it's the truth"
