So there he sat
Staring at the wall
Trying to think
About nothing at all
Burgers close by
Glasses in hand
Rubbing his eyes
Holding back the tears
Wishing it could all go back
To the way it was once before
Before that fateful decision
When he walked out that door
When he declared his independence
And put up a fight
Oh, how he wished he could take it all back
Make everything right
But that won't ever happen
No, the hatred will stay
Never again could they be close
And never again will he be okay
So up goes the mask
On goes the act
Because it's the only way
He can keep himself together…intact.
