This place and these people are not as great as you might think <br />The place is run down and your friends.. well.. to be honest, stink! <br />They’re all a bunch of losers and takers, <br />I’ve met their shallow kind before - <br />They’re liars and heartbreakers. <br />So if you’re thinking this is a good place to be- <br />Then show me the way to the door, <br />Cos you won’t be playing your games with me. <br /> <br />I’ve done this already, <br />Flirted with his kind and drank with hers, <br />Was just as low and empty as all of you. <br />And at the time and in that place we thought we were oh, so cool. <br />Now I’m outside looking in, and from what I can see… <br />If you’re thinking this is hip- <br />Then it’ll be happenin’ without me. <br />Almost sold my self esteem and lost my heart, <br />Spent most weekends in places like this, <br />With these fools who frequent bars. <br />Places like this just set the devil free, <br />So if you’re thinking this is a good place to be, <br />Then I wish you lots-of-luck, <br />Cos you won’t be dancing here with me. <br /> <br />The stench of smoke, cheap beer and perfume <br />Game players, mind games, <br />no one really cares about you. <br />I know about the sadness that fills their eyes. <br />And that’s exactly why- <br />If you’re thinking this is paradise- <br />Then I’ll bid you a good-bye, <br />Cos you won’t be makin’ it with me.<br /><br />Candy Kelly<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/not-with-me/
