Ruth

Olli Matela...My crush. He was perfect, you see I had a crush on him. But he wouldn't notice me because he liked girls that were perfect. I pulled on:

The boys decided to go to a karaoke bar. Olli was busy making out with his girlfriend Mina. I played with my beer bottle, while I was pulling off the label.

"You got to tell him Ruth!" Tommi says and I shook my head "No!" I saw Niko and Joel were doing a duet, but I didn't want to be pulled up there. I looked at the sandy haired bassist, his blue gaze on me. I decided to speak to the black haired one next to me.

"So how's the editing coming along?" I asked Aleksi and he tells what he was doing. I laughed because he gets so animated when he speaks about the process.

"You should sing! I know you have a killer voice!" Aleksi says and I shook my head no. Until I saw Joel and Niko point at me, oh shit.

"Come on Ruth!" Joel and Niko yelled as they walked over to the table and started pulling me onto the stage. I saw Olli was glancing at me. Ugh why did they have to do this right now?

I walked over to the person and told me to play Like That by Bea Miller. I stood in front of the microphone.

"Go Ruth!" Aleksi yelled and I stood up and decided to start singing.

Can see it from the way you looking at me
You don't think I'm worth your time
Don't care about the person that I might be
Offended that I walk the line

So what if I'm not
So what if I'm not everything you wanted me to be?
So what if I am
So what if I am more than you can see?

I pulled the microphone off the stand and continued walking around while singing.

When you treat me like that, when you treat me like that
It's pushin' me harder, it's pushin' me harder
When you breakin' my back, when you breakin' my back
I only get stronger, I only get stronger
I should've walked away one year ago
When you said I wouldn't make it out alive
When you treat me like that, when you treat me like that
I only get stronger, I only get stronger
When you treat me like that

As far as I can tell, it's kinda crazy
That you even care at all
Convincing everybody you can save me
But you're the one who made me fall
So what if I'm not
So what if I'm not everything you wanted me to be?
So what if I am

So what if I am more than you can see?
When you treat me like that, when you treat me like that
It's pushin' me harder, it's pushin' me harder
When you breakin' my back, when you breakin' my back
I only get stronger, I only get stronger
I should've walked away one year ago
When you said I wouldn't make it out alive
