"You seem... different."

*"People change. You taught me that."

I don't know
I don't know what I feel for you

All I know is being around you makes me want to be a better person
And the bad days don't feel as hard when you're smiling at me

I gave you all my love
I threw myself in with no reserves
Everything you were,
Both good and bad
I loved without strings or requirements

I gave you all my love
And you can't say the same
That's why I know peace

But love for you will become and endless chasing game
You'll seek my ghost in every girl
But I won't be found
You'll never be able to erase the mistake
Of not giving us your all

No one ever feels sorry for the pretty girl
Why should they?
She gets dinners and dates and all the attention any heart could desire
Who could complain about being the center of attention every day?
Other girls would **** to be told they're beautiful as much as the pretty girl is

But you see,
No one ever taught the pretty girl she has the right to say "no"
No one tells the pretty girl that she's more than pretty

Because pretty fades
And pretty girls know that
And pretty girls are terrified that when their bodies fail them and all they have left to offer is their heart, soul and mind
That whoever loves them won't stay

Because no pretty girl
Knows what it's like
To be loved for more than her pretty

Funny, isn't it?

How I can tell complete strangers words I can barely utter to myself
Yet I hide the greatest secrets from the ones I trust the most

I see your ghost
In all the places you used to be
In all the places you should be

I feel your absence always
When it's my birthday and you don't call
When I go to parties, alone

I never realized how much I let you in
But your ghost makes sure I'll never forget
