Are We That Different?


Are we that different, that you can't see the similarities between You and Me?

Because people say my name wrong, too

And I love music just as much as You

I'm more social than my sibling ever will be

And we both take way too long on tests

We both call other people 'the best' 

We are both quiet in class

But fools around our friends 

We both like the Beatles and Johnny Cash too

I've never ever ever met anyone like you

And I never want this feeling I have when I'm around You to end

We never talk to each other, and it makes me sad 

That you have never wanted me as bad

As I want you, but at the end of the day

It almost seems like You are trying to stay away

But I really like You, and I want to be closer to you 

But you're always running with your crew

And I know soon I will have to let go of my romantic fantasy 

Because I will always feel some way for You,

but it will never be the way You feel for Me

A young girl chasing a dream that can't be caught, Holding onto hope that is too far gone Losing her mind trying to help others get theirs back Prayers go unanswered no matter what she does It's the life of no one, no one but me
