My One True Love
Oh, Instagram, shall I spend one more hour?
Every waking second I spend with you.
You have me in a chokehold with your power
All the clips you show me are filled with fools.
The videos you show me are stupid.
And yet, I always continue to view.
You struck me with an arrow from Cupid.
I send my reels to Victoria Hughes.
I continue to come back all the time.
I cannot get away, and do not mind.
Watching my reels at 1 A.M is prime.
Yes, sure, with my homework I am behind…
I want to spend my time with only you,
And make each moment feel forever new.

Stages in Songs
1. Butterfly - Denial
Looking into your dark brown eyes, I can see my reflection.
I can see our future together.
When I’m with you, I feel like I’m floating through the air
So care-free like a butterfly.
Fighting is never fun, but I am so dearly infatuated with you, it doesn’t even matter.
You leave occasionally, but I know you’ll fly back to me.
2. King for a Day - Anger
All you do is take advantage of my kindness.
You tell me these cruel, twisted lies: never the truth.
You're never going to be honest, and I know it.
Not only do you tell me lies, but I know you also tell other people these cheap stories!
So spread your wings, and fly far, far away
Because I'm done.
I guess it’s true that you're only king for a day.
3. Falling - Bargaining
I'm living in this nightmare where I've made this terrible decision. I've flown away.
I still get butterflies when you're around, but I know you don't feel the same.
I think I'm still in love with you.
I think I'll do anything for you.
I think I miss you.
4. Canned Heart - Depression
You used to take up all my mind, but I can't care about it at all anymore.
I don't know what to do.
All I can do now is to make the most of it.
I’m in this daze-like state.
I need to find a cure.
But I don't care at all anymore, remember?
5. Soul Education - Acceptance
All my life, people have told me what to do.
They told me how to act, feel, and who to be,
But I know who I am.
No one can change me.
And like a butterfly, I’ll fly free despite their chains.
