The Smiths – How Soon Is Now? Lyrics 11 years ago
i never really gave this song much thought.
now it makes me want to cry hearing it.

to me it's about social anxiety or shyness, and the inability to make friends. people always tell you the reason you can't make friends is because you don't go out and try to meet people. but i want someone to love me for the shy person i am, not the person i have to pretend to be to talk to people. everyone always says "it'll happen eventually," and my family wants me to just hurry up and find someone. so oi try to go out, but nothing changes. nothing ever changes. i go home and cry about it, because i know it'll always be that way. everyone acts like i'll magically stop being shy, but i accept the fact that i won't.

this song's very personal to me now that i think about it
ive always not really liked this song, 'cause it's their most popular and i thought it was overrated
but now i really really love it
