Nothing Burns Worse

Nothing burns worse than the feeling as though you're not loved

and I'm sorry I'm not a male model with an 8 pack, 

but honestly that sings that I would not be me When I am happy being me. I'm happy trying make you smile and laugh, not ask for pictures of your tits or your ass Nothing burns worse than you not knowing I would have appreciated everything you had to offer from that perfect smile down to your feet and from your lungs that exhale a mist of pure happiness and joy for me to your loving heart in which I seek more than just to see your eyes and hear your laugh, it's just a sudden rush for me Nothing burns worse than knowing that all your work wasn't even thought of Knowing that you did every single thing you could do to make her happy Calling her the gorgeous princess she is and trying to make her feel as beautiful as she is every day, And just my luck, That was a swing and a miss from the one person with which I'd enjoy a meaningful kiss to realize she didn't give two shits about a guy who visualizes her as a goddess  unlike the other guys that aim at her heart with a kick Nothing burns worse than when you can't give her the world you know damn well she deserves It burns with a white hot fire to realize that SHE is your world  But clearly you can't give her that And you can try to receive a glimpse of appreciation of your love, For that world that has an open heart and a cute love for guinea pigs and rabbits that'd rather go for "bad boys" that smoke more than cigs by giving her a symbol of your love  I took my love for that brunette world with big brown eyes and put it into a stuffed bunny  And I thought I'd try to be smoother than honey because I had spent all my money and I thought I could win her over by trying to be kinda funny I gave her the rabbit and I told her I wanted to be more than just friends  And it rattled my brains to hear what she said "I don't like relationships. I'm cheated on by the end When I'm the one who's loyal, and no it doesn't depend On who it is, it's always the same thing when it's my heart that I lend To them, and in return I get a message that he meant to send To the girl he was cheating with" But I'm not like that. I'm not like that I'd realize that you're the one who I'd be with  I'd cherish you for who you are  I'd try to take you near and far and I'd want to just sit with you in a car And simply spend the night staring at the stars  I'd try to make you smile every chance I get Please, can't you see? That I'd never cheat because that would defeat the purpose  Of knowing that you're holding hands with me? Nothing burns worse than hearing her say she didn't care about that Because "she'd heard that from all the other guys" At that very moment my heart sank to the floor And when it slammed into the ground it shattered into a million pieces With each of the million pieces representing a reason why I loved you It burned to the core to remember what you said just before I said "goodnight beautiful" Two nights before I gave you the bunny. You said that I was the last person on Earth that you would expect to cheat And that meant as much of a world to me as you did, do, and always will mean to me Nothing burns worse than the feeling of being wrecked by love Everything feels destroyed It'll leave cursing until they put you in a hearse and  Then you'll finally realize  That I would do anything for you to see me as the right person. And you missed your chance Because you made me want to drown in bourbon When I just wanted to make you feel better; feel like a person But I've moved on now I put out the flames that once burnt me With the realization that I don't need anybody but me
