This is an article that I came across while trying to find the lyrics to a song from the the finale of Smash—“Don’t Forget Me”. However, while reading it all I saw was negativity and sarcasm towards the writing that I couldn’t disagree with more. I personally thought the assumptions he made were so far off and unreasonable. At the same time, I personally thought the finale song was great and very well song. If you watch “Smash” you should read.

What I actually look like:
“Without You” Cover from Glee.
A couple. A boy hold his girlfriend around her shoulders, crossing over her chest. His arms loose, but stiff, a motion spawned from his thoughts that this is what he should be doing. He holds her because he knows he should, but he does not want to. If give then chance, he would say good bye, but he fears the aftermath for her. The girl, fallen deep, holds the arms to her chest, gripping tightly. Afraid that if she didn’t he would leave. She suspects, but does not want to believe.
Behind her the boy looks out. Another girl. The two were forced apart, and he still looks out to her. If given the chance, I believe he would go to her and hold her. Forget everything, for her. And the girl? She looks away from the boy, denying herself. She smiles and talks to friends and boys, appearing to be fine as she speaks of being done with the boy. But is she being truthful? She hurts to see him with another. She hurts, but does not say. However, I’m sure if given the chance she would be with him.
There’s another. She stands to the side, watching the boy hold one girl and pine for another. She, too, had her chance with the boy. A long time ago they were each other’s everything, believing they had found “the one”. They were each other’s first loves. The boy left in a fiery storm, speaking words that burned and would return her interactions with ice cold stares, convincing himself to hate her, leaving her heartbroken and lost. Her friends kept her strong, but silently she still missed him. Still wanted to see him, talk to him, be with him. She fought these feelings with her own heated words, convincing people she hated him. In reality, she missed him. Now, they talk, but she expects the worse. She knows no better. As she waits for the worse, she watches as he says he is stuck in one relationship and as he shows his desire for the other, and all the time she screams in her head “Why won’t you look at me?” She tries to be the good friend, to be helpful, but she still hurts.
To those few that follow me here on Tumblr, I am so sorry for the same blog post over and over again. I’m trying to win this MacBook. I would recommend you block me until February 12.
You know who this is Horton lol
Not only is this like the biggest role that I’ve actually gotten to play in a musical, but it also hits home a little for me.
So, this is definitely one of my favorite numbers that Glee has produced. However, whenever I listen to it, I can’t help but have a soft heart to what it says.
I love my staff.
