I'm afraid
terrified really
That I'm not good enough for you
That I'm not what you're looking for
That I'm not what you want in a girl
What if you find someone new that is what you're looking for?
And what if you already found her?
Yet you let her slip away
You talk about her like she was all you could ever hope for
Why didn't you take that chance and grab her while you could?
Now you're stuck with me
And I don't think I could be any of the things she is
What if she comes back?
Then what do I become?
I become the cookie dough you eat while you wait for the cookies to finish baking
I may be nice in the moment
But overall I'm a bad idea
And just a way to pass time
And that's why
I'm afraid
terrified really
a.a.
