15 minutes is all I ask
For this repeating cycle to last
Mixed emotions,
Fixed decisions
Just one last glance
At this broken record of feelings
Trying to get one last song
To play for the sake of being heard
Sing along with the tape
Pretend you know the words
Brag to everyone that this song is about you
Truth hides behind the lyrics
Behind the locked bedroom doors
Blinded by pride you miss it all
Sing with me the song
That means so much to you
Press the repeat button
And play it over and over again
Once you're sick of it
You just turn it off
And that's the last you hear of it
Please just let it play for 15 more minutes
Maybe it'll sink in
Like the tape you threw into the ocean
