Throwaway Song

Jessica Williams, you gave me your number but I didn't call
I wonder how you felt while your phone sat and did nothing at all
Well, in much the same way I was lying on my bedroom floor, frozen in fear
The fear that I wasn't worth you, so sure I would hurt you and leave you in tears

It was nearly fall when Autumn called and asked "What was wrong with me?"
I could have died thinking of all the nights she cried while I was sound asleep
She had sky blue eyes, a radiant smile, and she made me laugh
But I didn’t love myself enough to love someone who might love me back

You glow like a fresh snow reflecting the moonlight on a clear winters eve
I know you're not flawless, but everything about you is perfect to me
After all these years, after all this pain, I wish that I could be strong
But I'm still the same, the things I should just say, become lyrics in a throwaway song

It's the same old story
Come and sing along
I'll play it again I'm sure
It's just a throwaway song
