I've got you on my mind and it's not fair because it should be her.
It should be the girl who keeps me laughing.
It should be the girl who loves me.
It should be the girl who wants me.
But I've got you on my mind.
You don't love me.
You don't want me.
But you've captured my mind and heart.
And I can't tell you because I'm not the one you want.
She wants me but I still want you.
What is wrong with me?
She's perfect but all I can think of is you.
Even in crowded rooms
Even in the middle of the day
Even at school
Even when I'm talking with her
I still think of you.
And it's driving me crazy.
I think you know it
I think you know that no matter how hard I try
I will still have feelings for you
You will still be on my mind.
That I will always try my hardest to be there to protect you.
As much as she wants me
She will never be you.
She will never know that you hold some part of me
A part of me you won't let go.
So tell me
Tell me you don't want me
Tell me you don't love me.
Tell me you don't like me.
Let go of the part of me that you hold captive.
Please
Let me go
I'm hurting and you do not know.
