Work in Progress

You forgot my name
And I forgot my dancing shoes
To fit us in frame
But I've never been good with first impressions

If I'm lucky, I may be able to redeem myself
On the second, assuming I get the chance
And the third time will surely be better
Than the last

So don't let yourself judge by cover
You may be surprised at what you discover, lover

Hallelujah to avoid one; only to hit three
Just for fun, make it four.
Because once you've fallen,
It's easier to stay
On the floor
Because once you've fallen,
It's easier to

Abandon your pride and leave it behind
Abandon your child
You're headstrong

When you sink, don't struggle
But take it for what it is
Let go of your breath
And the pain will go away
Remember, from time to time
To ask yourself:
"Is the fucking you get worth the fucking you get?"
