Everything Comes With a Price-

She wrote everything down 
Page by page 
It was a way 
To conceal her rage 

But then one day 
There was a boy who came 
He stole her heart 
And her brain 

She fooled herself with happy thoughts 
She never really 
Saw the loss 

Until the day 
She picked up a pen 
Faced a wordless page 
And drew a blank 

She gained some courage 
And walked the plank 
She realized 
What was the deal 
And figured that 
She had to spill 

So the feelings came out 
And so did his true character 
There was definitely no 
Happily ever after 

He played a great role 
But his acting was shoddy 
She finally found 
All her stolen belongings 

But they were in pieces 
The label FRAGILE long gone 
Though once again 
She could write her songs 

As I'm sure you've figured 
This girl is me 
And I guess this proves 
There's a cost for everything.
