Tears drop slowly down my face, I wasn't good enough.
The pain I face is strong, I wasn't pretty like her.
I am all alone and you don't care, I was too fat.
My words were deep with meaning, they meant nothing.
I tried hard to be your perfect, it wasn't real.
You were good and I fell hard, it wasn't you but me.
I wanted so much for our love, and you felt nothing.
You needed someone secure, I had such a good life.
I said i loved you over and over, you never listened.
You needed someone to support you, I was always there
I held you up in your darkest moments, she was better.
I loved you for your flaws, she made you feel worse.
Stayed up so late to comfort you, and got nothing.
I gave so much to you, and got nothing back.
Trusted you and let you hurt me, it's too bad.
I could have been your everything and more, but no.
How is it I long to be with you, and you feel nothing.
Or that you tell me lies and I still believe.
This pain isn't your fault, it's my own for stupidity.
Tears drop slowly down my face, I wasn't good enough.
