Dear Britney, Good Luck

Sure, it's "old news" right now that you're in a mental hospital. And this may sound odd to anyone who's been living under a Britney-Gossip-Free rock, but CONGRATULATIONS on your admittance into a hospital. I can't tell you the relief I feel knowing that you're getting treatment, even if you don't want it.

Now, Brit... please use this as a chance to fix what's broken. Please. I've been listening to your song 'Everytime' and I'm struck at how eerie it is. It seems like a prayer, and as if you've been begging for help for much longer than anyone is willing to recognize. I don't see this song as being from a woman who wants a man to notice her, but is praying to God for help, for someone to notice the pain she's in emotionally, mentally, socially, physically. Why wasn't this seen as a cry for help? I suppose I could be making something out of nothing, but this song is just very creepy right now, eerie in giving a glimpse into Britney's state of mind even before she publicly went batshit crazy.


"Everytime"

Notice me, take my hand
Why are we strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me

Everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

I make believe that you are here
It's the only way I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

And everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song's my sorry

At night I pray
That soon your face will fade away

And everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you, baby
