everything I could
is it because I don’t have blue eyes and blonde hair
or is it because I’m not interesting enough
what is it about me that keeps you away
because I have done everything I could
I lost weight to a point where it’s unhealthy
and I dyed my hair red to stand out and look brave
so tell me, what am I doing wrong
because I have done everything I could
I have done everything
I have done everything I could
to make you look at me, talk to me
to make you SEE me
I cared, I listened
I shared, I helped
when no one else did
I LOVED, for God’s sake
but I give up
I’m done trying, changing
because I have done everything
EVERYTHING that I could
