Welcome to My Life by Simple Plan
Pairing: None
-o-
In the smallest bedroom of the Dursleys house lay a girl with long black hair and sparkling emerald eyes. A radio was turned on to her favorite station. Reaching over Ebony Potter turned up the volume to one of her favorite songs. She sang along with it.
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you?
She did feel like breaking down and crying yet it didn't get her anywhere. No matter where she was she didn't fit in, she couldn't be herself. They didn't understand, they didn't have expectations to live up to.
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio turned up so loud
So no one hears you screaming
There was a time when she had run away; it landed her back in this prison. Now she didn't go out, she didn't have to worry. Like now, with the radio up so loud, no one could hear how she really felt.
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
Her friends don't know what it's like, to have no one there, when things weren't right, when she couldn't be herself. They probably didn't even care.
To be hurt
To be lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
She hurt; she was lost in the dark. She'd been kicked when she was down and defenseless and pushed around by everyone. The old man had left her on the edge to break. With no one to save her, they wanted her to come back into their arms as though they would save her. In reality, they wanted to manipulate her for their needs and wants.
Welcome to my life
Welcome to the life she wasn't actually living.
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Ebony wanted to be anyone else, without the demands and disappointment. She was tired of being left out. There's a world where she can find more, more of herself, before it's too late.
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and the stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding?
This world she hated, the people within it, and their lies. Their smiles held fake promises and the lies held false security. Did they know she was wasting away?
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
The life she lived wasn't one they knew. They didn't know the pain and the fear people like her dealt with.
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
They were the ones who hurt her, made her feel lost, left her in the dark, and kicked her when she fell. He nearly pushed her over the edge. No one was there to save her but herself.
Welcome to my life
Ebony wasn't sure this could even be called a life, not when it was being controlled.
No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work, it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like
Twinkling eyes lied to her. The red-haired boy went behind her back. They thought she was happy, she's not. The blond-haired boy had everything he could possibly want with the snap of his fingers. None of them worked towards goals, they already had them in their grip. They were more alike with the red eyed monster than they thought
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
The pain cleared from her, she was standing up and they wouldn't know what hit them. They didn't know anything about the cruel world but soon they would get a taste of what she went through. After all, if their savior wasn't where they wanted her than, they would surely fall.
Welcome to my life(x3)
Revenge is sweet…
