The Next Minute

In the following minutes after the tears

I almost believe you

I almost understand

Why you treat me the way you do

I can see

how you think so little of me

It’s as clear as glass

Then shattered on the floor

Once worth so much

Now nothing more

But it floats away like a dream

To ruin your almost perfect scheme

Do you want me gone?

Cause the next minute

 You’ll know you did me wrong

The next minute I leave

You’ll be missing me

But I’ll be doing fine

My heart will be mine

You can’t make me believe

In your little crazy scheme

Please help me understand

Why you think I can’t stand

On my own two feet

When you set me in the backseat

I will show you

I’m worth so much more

Then your dream of a perfect daughter smashed on the floor

This will settle the score

You wanted me gone

Now the next minute

 You’ll know you did me wrong

The next minute I leave

You’ll be missing me

But I’ll be doing fine

My heart will be mine

You can’t make me believe

In your little crazy scheme

It’s so crazy

How I was your little baby

Baby to the burden

I couldn’t take the hurtin’

So I stopped listenin’

To the nasty things you say

I am beautiful,

I am passionate

I have so much worth giving

But you don’t even know me

How could you see

You wanted me gone

Now the next minute

 You’ll know you did me wrong

The next minute I leave

You’ll be missing me

But I’ll be doing fine

My heart will be mine

You can’t make me believe

In your little crazy scheme

 

How you handle it when people put you down?
