I Am... I Said

Brooke White

LA's fine, the sun shines most the time
The feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow and the rents are low
But you know I keep thinking about
Making my way back

Well, I'm Arizona born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
LA's fine, but it ain't home
Arizona's home but it ain't mine no more

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a queen
And then became one
Except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one

I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried and tried but it won't let me go
I'm not a girl who likes to swear
But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
