I'm wondering if it's the right choice, is all." His smile falters a bit. "Just the usual 'don't know what I'm looking for' crap. I won't bore you with all of it."

And now we've realigned the edges
I'm doing very well I thank you
All this sympathy is starting to wear me down
I wish I was someone else
