I wanted you so bad,
So bad that it physically hurt,
So bad that I cried,
But I've realized that I only ever held you back,
I only held you back from the pretty girls,
That I know you prefer,
I held you back from having who you really wanted,
Because I was selfish,
And thought you actually liked me,
I thought that you loved me,
Because you said, "I love you."
I thought you enjoyed being with me,
Because you smiled after every kiss,
Maybe I was just holding you back,
Maybe someone else could make you smile more,
Maybe you can say, "I love you." to the right girl,
I was selfish,
And tried to keep you to myself,
I wish I never dated you,
Because I never wanted to hold you back,
It was never my intention,
I just thought that you liked me,
Loved me,
Wanted me,
But clearly I wasn't enough,
Because once you broke it off with me,
You went for the girl you truly wanted,
The pretty girl,
The funny girl,
The perfect girl for you,
Because I could never be perfect for you,
Even though I wanted to be perfect so bad.
Now you are free,
Free from me,
Free to have the girl who is perfect.
