You reinforce my bad behaviour
With, "You're so pretty,"
And, "I care about you,"
And, "You can always talk to me."
Does it need saying?
*******.
The fact is I don't need you
I just need someone
And that someone always ends up
Being you.
Though it's obvious I'm nothing to you;
Last on your list.
You have so many girls
You could start a band.
And your lies give me a headache
Because after all this time
I'm still the naive little girl
Who loved next to you.
And I thought that wouldn't change
But it did, of course it did,
And every time I get you back
You leave again.
But that disappears
When you're stood in front of me
Telling me how precious I am.
You know no one else says that to me.
Maybe you shouldn't.
This is why I fell for you, you know.
You were the first person to pay me any attention
And the fact is now I could go weeks without you
But I choose not to
Because there's a tiny part of my brain that says,
"He loves you, a little."
And then something like this happens
And I really do need you
Because you were there when this happened
The first time.
You used to understand.
And I will be forever disappointed
That you don't any more.
