The Party


I didn't even want to go to your party

I don't like to dance

But it would have been nice if somebody invited me

Just to have the chance


I wanted to feel invited

To feel like I mattered

Behind a mask I hid

Even though the edges are tattered


I didn't even want to be there

To watch the others have fun

I just wanted to feel like someone cared

But apparently I have no one


No one wants to invite this girl

Like maybe there's something wrong with her

I don't play a part in anyone's world

The room begins to blur


All I wanted was to feel wanted

By at least someone out there

My feelings have been punted

Without a single care


No one sticks up for me

No one begs me to go

No one says it's she

That makes the party glow


But it would have been nice to have the thought

Like I was involved in your game

But like a mouse that's been caught

This feeling is all the same


No one wants this girl

To bring down the room

I was never a part of this world

Because I was apart of the moon
