    Why wait? Here I am!
    I'm yours, take me,
    Have me, break me.
    I'll let you make me
    Your very own.

    I heard you already.
    Valerie, it's Valerie!
    In the morning, at work,
    In bed next to me,
    It will always be Valerie.

    You'll rarely notice me
    When she's the one who chose to leave.
    On the couch, in my chest,
    That corpse is me.
    It appears that I didn't leave.

    I'm afraid I just can't see
    Who you expect me to be.
    But I'll work to bring you back to me;
    Beat your chest like a dead horse,
    Like you've been beating me.

    Five years you've wasted
    After that Valerie.
    What is it now that you can't see?
    Say goodbye because she's gone
    And pay attention to me.

    I can feel the frustration here and thought the repetition effective... like telling someone the same thing over and over again, knowing they understand it, but nah, they don't really grasp the whole of it. Basically, dealing with baggage just plain sucks, but you just don't come out and say it... you let the experience say it, which is the way to do it, imo... I liked this alot, thanks! :)
