their smiling faces are taunting me
i feel lost in this sea
of people who don't care about my wellbeing
all too easily my friends leave me be
no one knows what i'm seeing
the absence of you
knocks me out
i wish i could tell you my love is true
but i'm sure my words have no clout
i consider going to hide in the loo
after all, anything is better than being in this zoo
but my self-respect is a bit higher than that
so on that hard bench, there i sat
when my thoughts finally turn from you
i am filled with hatred
for this music i don't even listen to
and it makes my body feel like lead
inside my perfect, idealistic world
full of the idiotic dreams of a child
they would play our song
and you would be here
our movements would be in sync and oh so sincere
but that idealistic image in my head couldn't be more wrong
right now you are across town
probably with her
and i've never felt further down
in your arms is the location i'd prefer
and although i claim i'm over you
i'll turn down the sir
who politely asks for my hand, making my self-esteem turn to sand
so you be you
loving that darling angel of yours
and i'll be me
uncomfortably formal and falsely adorned
pathetic as a puppy dog can be
and hopelessly devoted to you
but maybe it will be just fine
perhaps someone exists who can deter my mind from my past
a love that just might last
hey, this song isn't too bad
it has a good beat and my heart is less sad
my legs move of their own accord
my friends loudly sing offkey and I smile
and so does the wearer of those sparkling eyes
i swear that this is the last time you will ever hold me down
so have fun across town
if anyone needs me, just tell them i'll be here
