I hate when people say we'd be good together
I love when people say we'd be good together

It gives me hope that people see what I see
Makes me hope you will see me the way they see us.

But the world doesn't work like that
Experience is the judge

So I shake my head and say no to their proposals
To keep the wall up around my heart
To not be vulnerable to those who don't deserve it

I will never be good enough for you
Or what you want

It's happened before
Time and time again

You don't like me like I like you.
So I pretend not to care.

The story that's always on repeat.
