Nothing Special

You made me feel special

Like I was worth something

To you I was not just pretty

But perfect

 

I thought it would mean something

I thought what we had was special

 

I was wrong

 

You told me all the right things

You held me close as we danced

You knew exactly what to do

You took care of me

 

But when it was all said and done

I wasn't all that special

I wasn't pretty or perfect

I wasn't anything special

 

It meant nothing to you

I meant nothing to you

We had nothing

 

You made me feel cheap

***** used.

I didn't matter

In the next room, totally forgotten

 

Out of sight out of mind

 

It was my fault,

Just as much as it was yours

I will own it

I will move past it

 

I will pick up my broken pieces

And keep moving forward

 

No matter what,

I refuse, to let you make me feel worthless

I refuse to let this break me.

 

I don't need you

To make me feel special

But for that one night,

I wanted to be something special to you.
