I never knew I had what they all want
Not until I let it go did I know
That the comfortable feeling that happens after 10 years
Is a blissful state craved for
No hiding, no pretending, no judgments
I didn't have to hold em in or make myself pretty
I didn't have to be nice or seem interested
I could drink a bottle of wine and slur
And still you looked through my mess
With eyes soft
Held me tighter than before and let me snore in your arms
I never knew and I took you for granted
That what you did was because you loved ME
Just me, the bags under my eyes, the marks on my face, my stinky breath from smoking too much
I wish I didn't realize that how you loved was what they all want
A helping hand, selfless, compassionate and kind
Because I could have moved on
Now I'm stuck comparing everyone to you
