This is a phone recording of a song I wrote ages ago. It's really short, at about a minute if you discount the speaking in the recording, but after its moment passed, it felt wrong to extend it. It's about abandonment. It's worth mentioning that this song was written mere weeks before AP testing, and if you've ever had to experience one of those classes, you'll understand why I never recorded this formally.

Okay, this is gonna be kind of an informal recording-type thing, because I don't– I haven't memorized this song yet, but, uh, hopefully you'll enjoy it. It's called Finally.
It still hurts to see you standing there
Standing next to him
Standing next to you
Standing next to me unknowing
That you're breaking me inside
But I'll get over it
I swear I always do
It's not an issue
But it's an issue
I've faced so many times before I cannot count
And I'm fine
Yeah, I'll be fine
What you've taken isn't mine
It's just the salt inside the wound I never had
I'm not mad
I won't be mad
When I see it's not so bad
To lose something great
To someone who is also great at last
At last
At last
At last, at last, at last
[spoken]
Well, actually, I did that pretty perfectly but– I mean– it's– that's only one verse and the refrain, I guess, but, uh, hopefully you enjoyed that, kind of an angsty teen song, I'm gonna go do my AP Euro now. Alright. See you later.
