So i met this girl
Who says she loves me
But i think I'm just an object
She's infatuated in
She was wanting a 'boyfriend'
And i fell right in
So i get to comfort her
Make her think she's in love.
The other day i heard her boast
That I'm around
Maybe so her friends could just
Confirm that I'm hers.
Now she gets mad when i don't call
And talk
She thinks it's because i got bored
And walked.
Her insecurities I've known
Reason, every time I call,
I have to pause and check my tone
I can't even switch off my phone
Or leave it at home,
She might call and think I'm gone.
With her i trade carefully
So at night she can maybe
Sleep peacefully
Hold her hand tightly
Just to reassure her
She's not lost entirely.
Every time
I think of her
I get lost in sense
I'm i in love,
Or infatuated just like her.
In my prison of thoughts
Hers compose the most
Struggling to understand
This girl i met but can't ignore
I have a broken bird
In my hand
And I'm short of what to do.
