PARALYZED
Words and music by Rhett Michael Holland, circa 2022 or 2023

Middle school lovers, scatterbrained
Romeo and Juliet, Juliet’s the same
The other’s at rock bottom, Romeo’s hurt
Juliet straight up left me in the dirt

Cause she never wanted a relationship
With a guy like me with a girl like her
Never wanted to be with the outcast
When she’s all just the same
Could have shared our lives but no
Didn’t wanna waste time on a joke that’s old
Take some time and let it rest
I’ll always be her second best
While she’s off dating other guys
I’m paralyzed

To hell with fairy tales and nursery rhymes
Cause they won’t be correct this time
I like her but she doesn’t like me
Why can’t this be L-O-V-E?

Cause she never wanted a relationship
With a guy like me with a girl like her
Never wanted to be with the outcast
When she’s all just the same
Could have shared our lives but no
Didn’t wanna waste time on a joke that’s old
Take some time and let it rest
I’ll always be her second best
While she’s off dating other guys
I’m paralyzed

(I swear i’m gonna tab out this solo at some point)

She wanted to get away
She moved 600 miles away
She found another guy to lure away
I really wish she would have stayed
