For this, friends think I'm trash So I get dumped, now AND THEN Two friendship stories from my past, a total disaster But I know I'm a good person I just don't know how to get committed So, I get judged now AND THEN Often times everything get muddled up How to explain to people, I don't know You see, all I want is a travel partner, cos this life is a journey I need no friends, cos I can't handle friendship. But each time I try to explain, my words fail me So, I get misunderstood, now AND THEN. 18-04-2017 For John Lawless' 'and then ' contest.
