unrequited love in a library

I dont want to know
If shes making you lose control
I dont want to know
If shes the one you're taking home
But I just want to say
I wish it was me
That you loved so completely
Wish it was me
That you wanted to read
Not a book on what love means
To a girl more fiction than a dream
By someone who is not me
Guess I'm holding myself down
With the weight of the truth
My back up against the shelf
Cos you'll never ever check me out
Someone will always hold me
Read that I'm everything they could want
And take me home for a day
But even when you're far
Even when I think you're gone
And I am falling for another star
I find you're always the one I want
I'm haunting this library
Cos I dont want to leave
Without you perusing me
I just want us to meet
Like two books in a library
But I'm poetry
And you're fiction
We could never ever be on the same level
Never ever be in the same section
Even when I'm put in the wrong place
I'm never ever seen beside your face
You prefer the paper mache shape
Of a piece of fallacy
Just cos shes on the list of recommended stories
Well, I'm the best selling poetry
It's a shame
We're separated by categories
Made by people who dont read
