| Gazing at the stars, |
| sitting in the dark. |
| Wishing for my pair, |
| I am a lonely heart. |
| I had my first big crush, |
| I thought I was in love. |
| Instead I was crushed, |
| and ended feeling dumb. |
| I tried to search my school, |
| and lo I turned up empty, |
| No fellow romantics, |
| though stupidity aplenty. |
| Rejection upon rejection, |
| each time it was a no, |
| got it into my skull, |
| that I was meant to be alone. |
| I took to the net, |
| I gave those girls my heart, |
| I thought I was in love, |
| but they ripped my heart apart. |
| Time and time again, |
| the story of my life, |
| though I like girls, |
| I am never liked. |
| Then a glimmer of hope, |
| or so it appeared, |
| Perhaps there was some romance, |
| in a Serteen girl! |
| A bad excuse for a prom, |
| where I made a bad date, |
| refusing there to dance |
| to music of bad taste. |
| What's with all the sex? |
| What happened to the romance? |
| What's with all the bootie? |
| What happened to the slow dance? |
| Teach me how to waltz, |
| Teach me how to fox trot, |
| hand me a dance partner, |
| you'll see I'll smile lots. |
| And through all the poetry, |
| and the songs that I wrote, |
| I returned to the net, |
| and again, my heart was broke. |
| And when all of it is done, |
| I'm back to the start, |
| for when it's all come and gone, |
| I'm still a lonely heart. |
