another hopeless romantic

I tried and tried to tell you

My feelings will never leave

My love for you is too strong

But you don’t give a damn about me

We’re like Cassie and Sid from Skins

I’ll wait three or four or five days just to eat

All so that when you see me

Maybe you might think I’m lovely

But you never notice a fucking thing

I’m always the one to talk

I’m always the one to ask

Even when you have that goofy grin

I just need reassurance

That you aren’t upset or sad

But you’ve never done that with me

Much less taken the time to care

I confront you with my problems

And all I get is a blank stare

I know that it’s not your responsibility

That you probably don’t want to know

But you could at least fucking pretend

At least for you I put on a good show

 

But now I’ve come to realise

That you’ll never care for me

I’m just not the type you want

And it looks like I’ll never be

So please stop leading me on

Because I know you don’t mean any harm

I just really wish you could see

That what you’re doing

Is killing me
