I've always been afraid of glances

They  don't give any chances

So scared to do the wrong thing

But with you, I finally feel strong


They  say everything I do is bad

I have to admit it kind of makes me sad

Thought I finally found my place

Now, it feels like a race


Who can be the most liked by them?

Who can be approved by all of them?

Love seems like a curse word in our mouths

When they  hear it, you're out


This time, 

It would really be over

I would commit a real crime

My reputation couldn't be lower


And for you, too

In that story, we are two

But I feel like for you, it's different

You've always been loved and acclaimed, not like me, who's just been... Present.


But unlike the others, I know there's more to you

Than laughs and smiles and dumb sex jokes

I just wish you would allow me to try and take that shell off you

Before that with your sweet words, you choke


You say we have a special bond

I just hope it's enough to convince you

That they  don't really matter

And that in this world, in the end, it's just me and you.
