Your music was always blasting
Everyone but me
covered their ears
They're glad now
that that side of you has gone
But I'm sad it has disappeared

You were a red firework
Exploding everywhere
Your laugh always had
everyone laughing along
even if no one knew
what was going on

While they opened up the windows
saying I needed fresh air to breathe
and that the dust on the shelf wasn't going to help me,
You span the CD
and broke your speakers
teaching me to open up my ears
and breathe in real oxygen
