So my hair is a little messy today,
Excuse me, kindly, I'm not in my best heels today,
I apologise in advance for not being on the ball today,
I had a very restless nights sleep, sir,
And that is why I was late for my train which left without me, you see
It's hard to sleep when everything weighs on your mind,
But I couldn't find an excuse, I wouldn't have thought you'd see it as an excuse
I'm not ill, not got a temperature, I've not had fillings, and my blood pressure is down, today
I've not had a doctors appointment, a dental or the physio,
Just bloodshot eyes, lava lined eyes, pink cracked mosaic eyes
I woke up this morning a different person, today
I spent this restless night, thrown around my double bed, it's empty now, today
I felt fine yesterday, my hair was tied up,
I let it down as I cried into the cushion, when he shut the door behind him
Excuse me, my eyes are a little downtrodden today
He walked out on me, just left, and that's why I'm here like I am this way
It's not an excuse, no it's unacceptable to come into work like this.

But it's just me, having one of those days..today,
It'll work out, I'll smarten up, and be fine tommorow.
The world doesn't accept 'being dumped' as a reason to stop moving.

the feeling behind this is what got me.
it feels sort of angry but very sarcastic, and entirely lovely.
