Broken American Girl (Michael Clifford - 5SOS)

22-Try Hard/Threat

-2 Days Later-

"OMG IT'S THE LIVESTREAM! KYRA! WAKE UP!" I was rudely awoken from my nap by a screaming Dani, who happened to be right by my ear. Thanks for that Dani. Note the sarcasm.

I'm officially 17 today, but I'm not that fussed about birthdays anymore so I haven't bothered about telling Mike and the others. God knows how Ashton found out.

It's been 2 days and Dani and I have hardly moved from our spots on the sofas in the lounge. On the bright side we have finished our song and it's called 'Oath'. I'm really pleased with it. My tour has also been brought forward due to popular demand apparently and it starts in 2 weeks- which means more pressure for the album.

"Now we were gunna start with 'American Idiot' but I wanna start with a newly written song about girls we know." I heard Michael's husky voice speak into the microphone, my eyes still shut as I was still kinda half asleep.

"1,2,3,4!" I heard Ash shout before they began to play the song.

She's dropping out of school
Cause she don't need the grades
The colours in her hair, don't seem to fade
I get dressed up when I go out
But she gets dressed down

She's 17, I told her I'm 20
I couldn't take her out cause mums got no money
It's stuff like this that makes me wish that I could change somehow

Sitting here at home..

It's obvious she's so out of reach
And I'm finding it hard cause she makes me feel
Makes me feel
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard
Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
Now she makes me think, makes me think
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again

She's got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered
I play guitar, but she's into drummers
She's seen my face around but she doesn't even know my name

I pierced my lip so she thinks I'm cool
I ripped my jeans and dropped out of school
I followed her around the town but she thinks that I'm a weirdo now

Sitting here at home..

It's obvious she's so out of reach
And I'm finding it hard cause she makes me feel
Makes me feel
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard
Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
Now she makes me think, makes me think
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again

But now who knew
That she's in the crowd of my show
Nothing to lose, she's standing right in the front row
The perfect view, cause she came along on her own
And there's something that you should know

Michael and Luke made eye contact and Michael took over even though it was clear that it was Luke's verse. The camera never leaving his face as he peered straight down the lens, it was as almost he knew that I was watching and he was looking at me.

You're so out of reach and I'm finding it hard
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel
Yeah she makes me feel, she makes me feel

It's obvious she's so out of reach
And I'm finding it hard cause she makes me feel
Makes me feel
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard
Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
Now she makes me think, makes me think
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again

And again and again and again and again
Cause I'm trying too hard again
And again and again and again and again
Cause I'm trying too hard again
