I had my life all planned out. I knew exactly what I wanted, when I wanted it, and how I was going to get. I was going to move to L.A., audition for a big movie, get the part, and become a star. I was prepared, for everything except for him. He messed with my head, my plan, and my heart, but I wouldn't change it for anything, except maybe to get him back.
My life was not planned out. I've lived in L.A. my whole life. I don't have anything going for me. All I do is party. That's when I saw her. She looked so out of place. It all started as a joke, but I fell for her. Me, the guy who has never loved another person more than myself, I fell for her hard. But, like I do, I fucked it all up and I lost her. She messed with my head, my life, and my heart, but I wouldn't change it for anything, except maybe to get her back.
