Dear diary,
so I am have gotten myself into a bit of a...
predicament.
So my life is kind of complicated,
I may or may not have catfished this guy at my school.
Ensemble:
Let's pick our fight, in this terrible game.
We flip the light, and we turn up the shame.
And no one wins, but we like to play.
We laugh and grin just to make them, go away.
Aurora:
Hudson, he didn't have a lot of friends
and seemed kind of...lonely.
Naturally, I reached out and
wanted to give him so company.
Hudson:
How hard will it be
for you to forgive me?
If I didn't move,
I would take the fall.
This time it's me,
now I'm whose at fault.
I ran too fast and lost it all.
Instrumental
Ensemble:
Let's pick our fight, in this terrible game.
We flip the light, and we turn up the shame.
And no one wins, but we like to play.
We laugh and grin just to make them, go away.
Aurora:
But I didn't realize he was so invested in our relationship,
long story short...I may have accidentally led him on.
Terri now is all I see,
Am I her or is she me?
Can I see who's on my screen?
Or is it time for me to come clean?
A picture's worth a thousand cries,
now I'm stuck with all the lies.
Maybe now it's time to show,
oh Hudson, please don't go!
Instrumental
Aurora:
So now people are starting to think
that I was doing this for me.
That I...like him back!
Could you imagine?!
Denise:
As far, as I can see
there is no real other way.
Just change, the way you speak
and the rules we chose to play.
Cause we have just one life
so we might as well have fun.
Just take the tip from me you see,
a hero and a mom.
We all, will make mistakes
but your flaws are not our concern.
Don't tell me why!
Secrets and lies!
Oh these kids, they will never learn!
Ensemble:
Cause life, is simply,
one big joke.
You live, you laugh,
you blow up smoke.
You share the news,
life you are woke.
But really it's all shadowed cloak.
We hide our demons deep within,
so no one tries to cop a win.
Bury deep and out of sight,
our feelings are like kryptonite.
Don't blame, the game!
