On the surface
you were everything
anyone could ever dream of
but the reality was that
it couldn't be love
I could no longer paint a smile onto my face
and pretend like everything was okay
I should be made to feel special all the time
and I tried to hold onto the idea things would become fine
When the lips of a stranger was pressed against mine
I found a world outside of you
One I've been a stranger to
I didn't feel protected
Been feeling neglected
and it has affected
How I would feel
It's where we've lost that fire
don't wait for me
because I ran away from home awhile ago
I never felt so alive
I always felt dead there with you
I wanted to feel wanted
I needed to feel needed
I wanted to love you but that ship never sailed
You took me for granted and thats why we've failed
You're on the average side of the field
what I wanted was something more wild
Sorries doesnt comfort me
or make up for the many nights I have felt alone
You didn't notice me
You didn't call me beautiful
and that is what did damage
