​​prom dress (acoustic)

[Verse 1]
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?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
