Sticks and stones may break your bones but love will always hurt you
These are words I wrote long ago before I even met you
You smile (hardly) and laugh (with an undertone of sadness) as if I don't affect you
But maybe I should face the fact that I'm not the girl for you
You say you love me and there can't be anyone better but I never feel it's really true
Because deep down I never feel I am enough for you
I ask you what you want but you say you have no clue
I might just have to face the fact that I'm not the one for you
This might be all the bad thoughts coming out in one rhyme
But these are thoughts I have fromΒ Β time to time
I think I need you more than you need me and that's a scary thought
Because it's the way it always goes and I hoped ours would not
What I'm about to say might seem like a stretch
But I think me in your life makes you a wretch
I'm sorry I can't make you happy like you should be
I'm sorry out of everyone it had to be me
I'm sorry I've made your friendships not great
And I'm sorry out of everyone I was the girl you had to date
I wish these words didn't have some truths
I wish these weren't thoughts I have about me and you
Sometimes I think maybe you're not meant to be happy
Sometimes I think you like the gloom
I wish you knew how my heart hurts when I see you have a frown
I wish you knew how much I wish I could turn it upside down
I talk about you to everyone and yap on and on
But maybe I should stop so many people don't feel bad for me when you finally move on
Even while I write this, all I want to be is safe in your arms
But I don't know if I should think of it as home
Because I'm terrified you'll leave and I'll be all alone
These are many things that run through my mind
These are some things that I never let you see
But these are the thoughts of an insecure me
