Lyrics My R - Will Stetson

Just as I was about to take my shoes
Off on the rooftop, there I see
A girl with braided hair here before me
Despite myself, I go and scream
"Hey, don't do it, please!"

Whoa, wait a minute, what did I just say?
I couldn't care less either way
To be honest, I was somewhat pissed
This was an opportunity missed

The girl with braided hair told me her woes
"You've probably heard it all before
I really thought that he might be the one
But then he told me he was done"

For God's sake, please! Are you serious? I just can't believe
That for some stupid reason, you got here before me
Are you upset 'cause you can't have what you wanted?
You're lucky that you've never gotten robbed of anything
I'm feeling better, thank you for listening
The girl with braided hair then disappeared

Alright, today's the day, or so I thought
Just as I took both of my shoes off
There was but a girl, short as can be
Despite myself, I go and scream

The petite girl told me her woes
"You've probably heard it all before
Everyone ignores me, everyone steals
I don't fit in with anyone here"

For God's sake, please! Are you serious? I just can't believe
That for some stupid reason you got here before me
'Cause even so, you're still loved by everyone at home
There's always dinner waiting on the table, you know
"I'm hungry", said the girl as she shed a tear
The girl short as can be then disappeared

And like that, there was someone every day
I listened to their tale, I made them turn away
And yet, there was no one who would do this for me
No way I could let out all this pain

For the very first time, there I see
Someone with the same pains as me
Having done this time and time again
She wore a yellow cardigan

I just wanna stop the scars that grow
Every time that I go home
That's why I came up here instead
That's what the girl in the cardigan said

Whoa, wait a minute, what did I just say?
I couldn't care less, either way
But in the moment I just screamed
Something that I could not believe
"Hey, don't do it, please!"

Oh, what to do? I can't stop this girl, oh, this is new
For once, I think I've bitten off more than I can chew
But even so, please just go away, so I can't see
Your pitiful expression is just too much for me
I guess today is just not my day
She turned away from me and then she disappeared

There's no one here today, I guess it's time
It's just me, myself and I
There is no one who can interfere
No one to get in my way here
Taking off my yellow cardigan
Watching my braids all come undone
This petite girl, short as can be
Is gonna jump now and be free
