Lost Hopes


 

He stands there

Without a care in the world

A lover by his side

A girl to take his hand

 

The tears wash down her face

He doesn’t want her

He doesn’t need her

She isn’t good enough

 

Running his fingers

Through her hair

The feelings of love

He really does care

 

She doubts herself

Doesn’t believe in herself

The imperfections take over

She isn’t good enough

 

Taking her hand

He walks into the future

With the hopes of happiness

He holds her by his side

 

Dreams are lost

Slipping the mind

This happened again

One more time

 

The love is there

From one person to another

Too bad the boy can’t see

There is a girl in the shadows
