Have you ever considered eye surgery?
Cause those glasses that you wear don't seem to help
You can't seem to see my face turn red as a strawberry
Or when people notice things about us your answer is always "whelp"

I can't understand how you can simply fail to see those clues
Or how you never notice when I lose my breath because of your eyes.
Are you choosing not to see as if you've got something to lose?
Or are believing in a bunch of lies?

You know maybe those lenses you're wearing are broken
I can continue flailing about to get you to notice me
Or run around but I'll end up heartbroken
Because for some reason you simply can not see!

So have you considered surgery?
Because I really want you to see
How much you really mean to me
But you seem happy to leave it be

Maybe your ears will work more
And you won't be able to ignore
When I scream my thoughts out loud
Or tell it to a crowd

Please don't tell me your deaf as well as blind!
Oh gosh, I think I'll lose my mind.
Everyone already knows; you're falling behind!
Please catch up, if you'd be so kind

That's it I give
This mess has had a quite a while to live
All I want is for my feelings to be known
But I give up; I'm going home

Oh, I simply cannot lie!
I know I'll keep at this till I die.
Have you ever felt like you were being really obvious with how you feel but the other person doesn't seem to notice? Cause same. Although he eventually figured it out when I kissed him...
