I’ll never be what you wanted.
I’ll never be what you hoped for.
I loved you, but you left me… haunted.
And I’ll never be more than the girl next door.
I see the way you look at her, the way I thought you looked at me.
But clearly that’s not true.
Because she has you.
You’ve fooled me.

Here I am waiting for something to happen.
Wondering why I fall for the wrong men.
I see the stars in your eyes, but they’re not for me.
I see the love you give to her.
But I don’t wanna see.
I hate it when you’re together.
I’ve tried to change your mind.
Now it’s time to try to change mine.

There isn’t much I can do.
Because you’ve already said…
“I love you too”.
And I wish I were dead.
I don’t wanna see you with her, I don’t wanna see you at all.
You’ve broken me for one last time.
You gave me hope, but it was fake.

I didn’t want to fall.
I thought that I was done.
And I didn’t know what to make!
Make of who you’ve become!
I’m through playing with you.
I’m through believing in you.
I’m done thinking that there was something real with you.

So, I’m no longer waiting on a miracle.
Pretending like there’s something waiting for me.
I’m giving up on you.
Just like I’ve given up on me.
