I never got asked to dance
(but you're a guy)
Nobody ever takes a chance
(you were a total nerd)
I never had the courage to go up and ask
(ask what?)

If someone I admire
Would ever desire
To go to the dance
Instead of me hiding from the world

It might have been fun
Things might have changed
I might have made friends
Instead of them thinking I'm deranged
Why was there never
A Sadie Hawkins dance ever
At my school

I know I wasn't cool
I really didn't care
Did that give me an air
Of confidence
That scared the rest
Behind the fence

Pretty little snow globes
Of pretty little towns
I hated so much
And wished I'd never found
You fucked with my best friend
I went off the deep end

I
Didn't
Have
Anybody
But
Him

What did you expect?
I couldn't deflect
Every little blow
That the world gave to me
My gramma just died
Is this a surprise?
You took away my life support beam

At that time
I needed to feel needed
I needed to feel loved
I felt so defeated
That's why I did what I had done

But what would've happened
If some complete stranger
Asked me
Do you want to dance?
What the hell was the danger?
