prom dress (acoustic)

I'm nearing the end of my fourth year

I feel like I've been lacking, crying too many tears

Everyone seemed to say it was so great

But did I miss out? Was it a huge mistake?

I can't help the fact I like to be alone

It might sound kinda sad, but that's just what I seem to know

I tend to handle things usually by myself

And I can't ever seem to try and ask for help

I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress

I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest

Makeup is running down, feelings are all around

How did I get here? I need to know

I guess I maybe had a couple expectations

I thought I'd get to them, but no I didn't

I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun

But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run

All I wanna do is run

I keep collections of masks upon my wall

To try and stop myself from revealing it all

Affecting others is the last thing I would do

I keep to myself though I want to break through

I ache to be someone with guts and situations

But it’s been far too long now, they all have foundations

I took too much time to try and settle in

I lost a couple friends before I could begin

I seem so stuck upon the past

I wish it played out differently

I’ve never been quite that good

I sit in silence miserably

I hold so many small regrets

And what-ifs down inside my head

Some confidence it couldn't hurt me

My demeanor is often misread

I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress

I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest

Makeup is running down, feelings are all around

How did I get here? I need to know

I guess I maybe had a couple expectations

Thought I'd get to them, but no I didn't

I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun

But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run

All I wanna do is run

All I wanna do is run

All I wanna do is run

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (All I wanna do is run)

I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress

I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest

Makeup is running down, feelings are all around

How did I get here? I need to know

I guess I maybe had a couple expectations

Thought I'd get to them, but no I didn't

I guess I’ve never really been that type of person

I crumple easily, conditions start to worsen

I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun

But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run

All I wanna do is run
