*Jay's POV*

"Uhhh.... There's nothing really bizarre about me."

"There's something bizarre about everyone here." Andrew says trying to convince me.

I look at him with a sad expression.

'Should I tell them? I feel like I can trust these people, sure we haven't always gotten along, but these guys are my family now....Fuck it.'

"I'm not very good with words...."

"How about you sing it?" Brian suggested.

"You sing?" Claire says with a smile.

"A little..."

"That's great, let's hear it!" Allison says, getting excited.

I look up and I open my mouth.

🎶 I don't know why he left but he's been gone for seven months
There's a tension in the air that's not so fun
Mom's been losing weight, I can tell she's not okay
I wonder if it's my fault he went away

I feel like I'm drowning
I feel like I'm broken
I've been ripped down the middle
I am ripped down the middle

My house is a war zone
My life is a battle
And I'm stuck in the middle
I am stuck in the middle

Whatever I did, I would take it all back
I'd circle the world to get back what we had
Tell me what must I do to deserve your love
Is there any way I'll ever be good enough?
Is there any way I'll ever be good enough?

I don't know why he left but I don't think he's coming back
Relationships don't come easy to me
I never learned how to love or how to stay when things get rough
How can you know something you've never seen?

I feel like a hurricane
My heart is breaking
It's been ripped down the middle
I am ripped down the middle

I feel like a lost cause
All I ever do is screw up
Ever since I was little I've been ripped down the middle

Whatever I did, I would take it all back
I'd circle the world to get back what we had
Tell me what must I do to deserve your love
Is there any way I'll ever be good enough?
Is there any way I'll ever be good enough?

I've spent my life trying to hide all of my weakness from everyone
I try so hard to play the part, cover all my scars
But it's never enough
No it's never enough

Whatever I did, I would take it all back
I'd circle the world for you Mom and Dad

Tell me what must I do to deserve your love
Is there any way I'll ever be good enough?
Is there any way I'll ever be good enough?
Is there anything in this world that I could do?
Is there any way I'll ever be
Maybe I'm already
Good enough 🎶

I close my mouth and I look back at the ground. Tears began to fall down my cheeks and on to the floor. Brian wrapped his arms around me in the process.

"That's the song you were writing about your dad, wasn't it?" He whispered in my ear.

I nodded me head.
