So I've practiced those one liner jokes
but I can't make you smile though
And I've practiced walking how he walks
but it's hard not to just trip and fall
If I could change this voice of mine
then I'd make it much more refined
If I told you that I loved my life
then I'm sorry 'cause I must've lied
my heart is feeling heavy
overcome with envy
surely I'm the one who wins on paper?
So now I'm praying to god for an answer
someone tell me
what should I do x 5
for you, for you, for you I'd
cut this stupid hair right off
if it meant that you'd look my way
I would throw my whole damn wardrobe out
if I knew that it'd be worth the change
'cause I always always think of you
oh I promise, I swear I do
'cause I can't help but get flustered and
you're not even in the room
Don't wanna bore you, I know you're tired
but I wish I could inspire
a new desire,
a fire
like how he does, your eyes light up
like he puts the stars in the sky, the moon above
or something
how does he do it? he makes you laugh, non-stop, is it witchcraft? so over the top
And I think I could do better, if I knew how to try
but there's no chance for you and I.
He says he knows you better
Isn't he a liar?
Surely I'm the one who wins on paper
or am I not?
You two got together?
I'm not hurt, I'm just surprised
How I feel about it? Well, I'm great, I'm feeling fine
but of course, that's just a lie
like always
So now I'm praying to god for an answer
someone tell me
what should I do x 5
for you, for you, for you
And though I know that this never will matter
I still hope you'd
just look at me x 5
oh, please oh please oh please
on knees, I'm
begging you
look at me
what is it
that in him you see
you don't see in me?
