You're better off ignoring me,
As soon as you talk to me
I latch on,
Become reliant on you.
And as soon as you leave
I blame myself,
Because I'm simply not good enough.

But I can't help it,
That when I'm shown attention
I grasp it
And as soon as you leave
I shall spend my nights
Hoping that you'll talk,
Show interest in me again.

But then I'm scared
I don't want to talk,
What if it goes wrong?
What if you realise I'm not right?
What will I be getting myself into?

So show me you love me, boy,
And commit to me like nothing else
Or don't show anything at all.
Because as soon as you show me
That you're more than a friend,
And I show you my flaws,
There's no going back.

And I will be left alone,
Me and my helpless attachment.
