Bubbly smile and shining eyes, are what I see
When I listen to your voice, I feel at ease.
Sure, I’m mature but fun at times
Annoying and unwittingly maritime.

Behind the jokes and the laughs, is my past
My darkness in the future seems vast.
But no one is stopping me from getting to you
Yet I stand still and grudgingly bid you adieu.

If you really meant that much to me
I’d be able to let you go, sadly but easily.

I don’t really love you, even though I think I do
You don’t make me as happy as she makes you.
I don’t really love you, even though I think I do
You remind me of what it’s like to not be lonely.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining
I’m just sick and tired of waiting
Maybe all the stress just got to me.
I don’t know how, to not hold on too tightly
Maybe I’m just scared over nothing.

Because if you really meant that much to me
I’d be able to let you go, sadly but easily.

I don’t really love you, even though I think I do
You don’t make me as happy as she makes you.
I don’t really love you, even though I think I do
You remind me of what it’s like to not be lonely.

Maybe that’s it, I just need to patch my soul
But you’re not the star cut out to make me whole.
Yet I try and try again to make you be a part of me
I’m drawn to the way you make us both feel happy.

But if you really meant that much to me
I’d be able to let you go, sadly but easily.

I don’t really love you, even though I think I do
You don’t make me as happy as she makes you.
I don’t really love you, even though I think I do
You remind me of what it’s like to not be lonely.

I don’t really love you, even though I think I do
You don’t make me as happy as she makes you.
I don’t really love you, even though I think I do
You remind me of what it’s like to not be lonely.

This was inspired by me at first feeling sad that a favourite youtuber of mine has a girlfriend but then realising it doesn't hurt me that badly. I never longed desperately for this guy at all.
I needed more ideas to add context so I thought of another youtuber who 'makes us both feel happy' (which is the honest truth along with the 3rd verse which is directed mostly at them).
The second verse is directed to me and my perspective; I tend to be clingy (or greedy) even if the person isn't so special because I'd rather have 2nd best than nothing. This tendency has landed me in some bad relationships in the past.
Anyway, if you have any queries or comments, please leave them below and I'm sorry in advance that I haven't posted recently! I'll step up my game.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoy :)
