Never went looking
Just stumbled upon
Another exchange
With another person
Should I be worried?
Should I have cared?
How can I trust when I'm too scared?
Was it a game?
Was it competition?
Would he explain of his own volition?
Kept my feelings out of the clouds
Tried to stand out from the crowd
Never used him to pass the time
Only hoped he wouldn't waste mine
Then I saw the youthful beauty
Maybe leaving them to it was my duty
Not ever wanting to feel defeat
Yet I knew I couldn't compete
Never should I have taken it seriously
Never should I believe that he did want me
Never should have read too much Never should have imagined his touch
There's not much left of a fragile heart
Protecting myself is a mastered art
Never could tell him how I feel Never because I don't know what's real
Never could handle this type of pain, so
Never will I fall again
