40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
i was a loner unloved
i really didn't need any help at all
(shame, shame)
i really thought i was fine
i was living it up just despite my self
(shame, shame)
i used to wander the streets at midnight
avoiding any signs of life
(shame, shame)
i used to suffer alone
i really did think it would make me strong
(shame, shame)
i used to write it all down
hoping someone would read it years from now
(shame, shame)
i used to act like i was in a movie
so mysterious and (shame, shame)
i really didn't think i could live it down
(shame, shame)
i tried to play it cool
but every single part of me felt so good
(shame, shame)
you took me someplace i'd never been before
i was a foreigner in your hands
i just couldn't let it go 'til now
