Outside

I stayed inside today
I couldn't find the courage 
To face the world

I stayed inside today
My heart was too broken 
To go outside again

I stayed inside today
I didn't even leave my bed
My alarm went off all day

I stayed inside today
I have 4 missed calls from my dad
I couldn't muster up the courage to face him

I stayed inside today
Wishing death upon myself
For not being good enough for her

I stayed inside today
This melancholy weather has me by the throat
I'm begging it to finish me

I stayed inside today
As a gesture of kind will
To make sure no one sees my face

I stayed inside today
I missed the modeling I had to do today 
I know my manager is mad at me 

I stayed inside today
My blue eyes only cried today
For I miss her more than I miss the outside
