I looked at you as though you were my everything
As if you were the oxygen i had been deprived of while drowning
The person i would stand by even when the world around us was burning
I would happily watch you soar across the sky and oceans flying
But when you looked at me
Talked to me
You saw her
The girl who clearly wasn't me
Prettier, cuter, better
Everything i wish i was but failed to be
And when we're together
I can feel you thinking if only things worked out with her
And i don't blame you when she's the ultimate daydream
I will never be enough for you it would seem
You would've been better off without me
And though it would fracture my heart into jagged shards of glass
Seeing you happier makes it worth it
Even when it's me i hope you look for in every room the way you look for her
I'm a shadow compared to the angel she is
Anyone would choose the sunlight of heaven over the darkness of the night sky
Oh what i wouldn't give for that to be a lie
