i got my new shirt on
my hair is all curled and pretty
i used too much hairspray
and i spent 20 minutes
getting it just right
my light purple baby tee
i look down at my body
and its an its an encouragement
my chest is finally not so unpretty

so i step outside
lock the door and close it behind me
and i start walking
all by myself

and when i get there
i cant help feeling like people are staring at me
(not in a good way)
even though
i couldnt really know
my eyes never leave the ground

and i think i'll walk away
and go home now
im sorry if i didnt see you in the crowd
maybe you should have tried to talk to me
the one whos always looking down
waiting to be found
