Sorry for this, the next chapter will be part of Love life.
[LACEY:]
I am hanging in the bathroom at the biggest party of the fall
I could stay right here or disappear, and nobody'd even notice at all
I'm a creeper in a bathroom 'cause my buddy kinda left me alone
But I'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly, or pretend to check a text on my phone
Everything felt fine when I was half of a pair
Now through no fault of mine, there's no other half there
Now I'm just Lacey in the bathroom, Lacey in the bathroom, at a party
Forget how long it's been
I'm just Lacey in the bathroom, Lacey in the bathroom at a party
No, you can't come in!
I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave
And picking at grout as I softly grieve
I'm just Lacey who you don't know, Lacey flyin' solo, Lacey in the bathroom by herself
Oh, by herself
I am hiding, but he's out there, just ignoring all our history
Memories get erased, and I'll get replaced, with a newer, cooler version of me
And I hear a drunk guy sing along to Whitney through the door... I wanna dance with somebody!
And my feelings sink, 'cause it makes me think: now there's no one to make fun of drunk guys with anymore!
Now it's just Lacey in the bathroom, Lacey in the bathroom at a party
I half regret the beers
Lacey in the bathroom, Lacey in the bathroom at a party
As I choke back the tears
I'll wait as long as I need until my face is dry
Or I'll just blame it on weed, or something in my eye!
I'm just Lacey who you don't know, Lacey flyin' solo
Lacey in the bathroom by herself!
Knock, knock, knock, knock
They're gonna start to shout soon
Knock, knock, knock, knock
Oh hell yeah, I'll be out soon
[LACEY & ENSEMBLE:]
Knock, knock, knock, knock
[LACEY:]
It sucks you left me here alone...
[LACEY & ENSEMBLE:]
Knock, knock, knock, knock
[LACEY:]
Here in this teenage battle zone...
[LACEY & ENSEMBLE:]
Clang, clang, clang, clang
[LACEY:]
I feel the pressure blowing up...
[LACEY & ENSEMBLE:]
Bang, bang, bang, bang
[LACEY:]
My big mistake was showing up...
[LACEY & ENSEMBLE:]
Splash, splash, splash, splash
[LACEY:]
I throw some water in my face
And I am in a better place
I go to open up the door
But I can't hear knocking
Anymore
And I can't help but yearn
For a different time
And then I look in the mirror
And the present is clearer
And there's no denying, I'm just...
At a party
Is there a sadder sight than...
Lacey in the bathroom at a party
This is a heinous night
I wish I stayed at home in bed watching cable porn
Or wish I offed myself instead
Wish I was never born!
I'm just Lacey who's a loner
So she must be a stoner
Rides a PT Cruiser
God, she's such a loser
Lacey flyin' solo
Who you think that you know
Lacey in the bathroom by himself
Oh, by herself
Oh, by herself
All you know about me is my name
Awesome party
I'm so glad I came.
*I have my regrets*
