Turn
Chase
No, run

Don't stop
Don't let up
Don't give up
Don't let them down

Best
Smartest
Number one
You.
Hadley.
Her.
Aren't you the one...?
Why?
Look at me.
Nevermind.
You see nothing
Her.
Hadley.
That girl.
I am nothing
Assumptions
Engulfing
Who's there?
To catch me?
To lift me?
Everyone's chasing me
Everyone's not doing anything
I'm alone
I'm apart
I'm lonely
The time
It kills
Me
It stops me
But no one cares
What matters?
Not me.
Not to anyone else.
I care about me.
Who else?
It's open
Take it.
Forget about it.
See you tomorrow.
Hasta manana.
Talk.
Smile
You don't like me.
You use me.
You use "her" to blame me
Don't blame me
Be nice.
If you're not,
Pretend.
Don't pretend.
Just be.
Cause I'm just me.
But who are you to me?
Who am I to you?
