Look At Me


Please look at me

You never seem to 

When you do look what do you see

I don't know what to do


He looks at me he stairs 

What look is that when he stares with wide eyes

And looks away with a smile

I am not the best at reading guys


You only see what I have done wrong 

What I haven't done


You see the people around me

Comment on how well they did

But what about what I needed you to see

I was up there too


I changed myself so you would

Cant you catch a glimpse

I thought you were the only one who could

I haven't felt the same since

 

You never saw me 

So I seeked for new gazes

But I am not free

Their approval is like mazes


I had to be better 

That was the key

Why is it always her

Look At Me
