I sat in my room
Last night and I cried
I'd had such a bad day
Felt part of me died.
I'd been to the doctors
They ran all these tests
"You need a CAT scan
We think that it's best."
I got no break at work
My AOL got messed up
I wanted to pick up a 40 oz.
And find the bottom of the cup.
My stomach was killing,
Off to dinner I went
I'd fought with Princess earlier
I felt completely spent.
After dinner it started
Another fight began
I said to myself,
"Forget her, you can."
When I got home,
My computer was broke,
"This isn't funny," I thought
"This must be a joke."
I kept trying to fix it
I got Chel on the phone
But after slamming the keys down
I just wanted to be alone.
I couldn't stop crying
I didn't know why
My day had been terrible
I just wanted to die.
I went over to Holly's
And she calmed me down
She gave me a hug and
Said, "Eric, don't frown."
After a talk
My tummy pain came back
I had to get home
and lay in the sack.
My stomach hurt bad
I just couldn't move
I felt so sick
Like I'd lost my groove. :)
Chel didn't call back
Cara went home to her boy
I can't take this anymore
I'm nobody's toy.
I'm tired of pain
From all parts of life
Why can't I just be normal
And live a life with less strife?
I don't know what to do
I've lost my way
So if you know how to fix me
Come find me...and stay.
