She never understood
His constant need for approval
The drive to show his own worth
That stemmed from a childhood
Hidden in the shadows by more
"Spectacular" siblings outshining him
She always saw him
Overdosing on his desires to be seen
Beyond his family
Beyond his past
He knew she couldn't know
Just how much pain he's endured
Keeping a positive attitude
Even when deep down
He wished he were dead every day
Trying to feel like he belonged
In a world where he's been cast aside
He never cared though
Cause he knows now
That she has stayed with him
Not for his status in the world
Not because she wanted to heal
The damages inside his heart
But because she simply loves him
And he truly loves her
