The Aspiring Singer
Rory Gilmore walked into the pub looking around at the drunken idiots. "At least it's a paying gig," she thought as she walked to the stage. Right away her eyes sought out those of the man in the back booth with his friends. She took her guitar out of its case and began to pay a steady beat.
(I'm not missing you- stacy orrico)
Oh, Oh
I'm not missing you
Been through just about everything that I could go through
When it comes to relationships
Don't know what I was missing or why I ain't listen
When I told myself that was it
Now here I go, hurt again
Cause of my curiosity
Now that its over
What else could it be he just had to cheat
I made a promise never to settle
Why didn't I keep it?
'Cause I hated the heartbreak
Crying and cheating, the fooling around
[Chorus:
(But) I'm not missing you
I'm not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me
I'm not missing you
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
I got life to do
I know I'm usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
But this time its different
I don't even feel the distance
I'm not missing
I'm not missing you
Its a shame in a way cause
I feel that I may not ever find the right one for me
Did I leave him, is he right in front of my face oh
Will my true love ever be?
Why would I go on a search again
When I know what the end will be
What good is love when it keeps on hurting me?
I made a promise never to settle
Why didn't I keep it?
'Cause I hated the heartbreak
Crying and cheating, the fooling around
[Chorus x2
No I can't be with you
Cause I'm scared felt like I was falling when you left me
I can't keep going through life
Unaware of what I missed
And the person I could be
Love's good when its right
And when it's left in your memory
All the times I let you down
I guess love will be nice for someone else's life
[Chorus
(But) I'm not missing you
I'm not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me
(I'm not missing you)
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
(I got life to do)
I know I'm usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
(I used to hate it)
Oh different, oh see the distance
I'm not missing
I'm not missing you
I'm not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me (knockin' at my door)
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
I know I'm usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
Oh different, feel the distance
I'm not missing
I'm not missing you
I'm not missing
I'm not missing you(yeah, oooh)
I'm not missing you (oh baby)
I'm not missing you
She finish the song and quickly glanced over at the table once again before staring her next song.
(24 hours- Alexz Johnson)
I've been sitting in the dirt (for 24 hours)
I've forgotten what im worth (for 24 hours)
Said that you'd be here last night
I'm trying to shake you from my skin (for 48 hours)
Clean up this mess i've been put in (for 48 hours)
I'm guessing you can't always win
I'm guessing you can't always win
[Chorus
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta
I'm not so trustful with my friends
I'm on the road alone again
I guess im tired of giving in
I'm sick of wishing you were near
You've gone your way, you've made it clear
Why do I feel you everywhere?
Why do I feel this everywhere?
[Chorus
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta
Don't wanna spend my time
Watching the world go by
I think I'd rather die
And I dont got a plan
Don't wanna justify
To stay where I stand
Something I won't deny
[Chorus
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta
[Chorus
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone
24 hours
24 hours
24 hours
24 hours
24 hours
"Thank you everyone have a good night." She said into the mic before she walked off the stage over to the bar. She orders her drink and thanks the people giving her praise for her spectacular performance. The bartender gives her her drink and she takes a drink as her best friend Paris comes and joins her.
"That was great Rory! Really I don't see why you are going to be a journalist! You should so be a singer! You have a great voice!" Paris rambled but Rory's attention was not on her. It was on the approaching man.
"Hi. Great job up there. You have an amazing voice. Are you a music major?"
"No, I'm majoring in English." She responded.
"Oh, well the names Logan."
"Rory"
"Well, it was nice to meet you Rory."
And he took his drink and walked back to the table his friends were occupying.
