I want no more than to be wanted
to feel like someone relies on me
I never expected to end up this way
being blind from what everyone else sees
I wish there were an easy explanation
for the way I drag myself around
no matter how much I look up
I'll never get anywhere but down
I want to return to my former self
someone that people used to miss
anymore I'm just a burden to society
a target for everyone to miss
I used to promise myself I'd never do this
I'd be different than the crowd
I exposed myself to anyone that cared
I can't get out from under this cloud
I still see you moving on me, I remember how intent your eyes were that night. You were so perfect, I couldn't help but stare back at you. It took so little to make me feel complete. Three days later I felt deceived. Maybe I tried too hard. Maybe I wanted too much. I would have never gotten that attached had I known what pain three days would bring. I felt like I was on my best behavior with you, only for you to turn away in the crowd. Everyone tells me to take it slow, but you must not be a slow kind of person. Three days seemed like three strikes, and I'm out. Friday changed my sympathies to indifference and resent. I still see you, but you're moving on someone else. All it took was three days.
