I can't let you see me
Avert your eyes
You'd despise
You'd go blind

I can't let you hear me
Don't listen
Ignore what I say
Forget I exist

Not worthy of your love
Not worthy to be in your presence
Worthless to the core
Worthless from the start

I can't let you touch me
Refrain to feel
I'd taint your skin
It would be a sin

I can't let you love me
You'd be repulsed
You'd be unamused
Cursed with a loveless heart

Not worthy of your love
Not worthy to be in your presence
Graced with an insignificance
Adorned with a crown of failure

Worthless to the core
Worthless from the beginning
Worthless in the heart
Worthless till the end
