Falls So Fast - Short Straw

Look around the room, a sea of blue
I close my eyes and wonder what the hell is wrong with me
A spider plant with legs that can't move
But I'm sure it wants to walk to me
What do you do
When everything about this makes no sense to you
You're so confused
But not me because I see exactly what I have to do
Oh, but I hate that I do

I drew the short straw
And I drew it first
I didn't think that I could make things any worse
I drew the short straw
What's done is done
I've got to do what no one wanted to

There's a man at the desk, our eyes connect
He tilts his head, does he know what's coming next
I blink first and turn away
That's when everything is going to change
With much regret
Do I have to
No one's holding a gun up to my head. Yet
Didn't think it through
They're counting on me to be the one that has to
Oh lord, help me

I drew the short straw
And I drew it first
I didn't think that I could make things any worse
I drew the short straw
What's done is done
I've got to do what no one wanted to

I have to do what must me done
But I don't want to hurt no one
I've got to do what I must do
But I don't want to. No, I don't want to, no

No, I don't want to
I drew the short straw
And I drew it first
I drew the short straw
Yeah, and I drew it first
Lord, help me
Lord, won't you help me
I drew it first
