This Is Me Trying
We walked through the doors,
I felt a thousand eyes looking over at us.
You assured me we that would have a great time,
that I just needed to just let go,
but I stood in the corner and watched you dance with her.
and you let me,
and you left me there.
It took everything in me not to leave through the stairs,
it took everything in me to pretend like I couldn't care.
I knew it never could have been me,
I dread that I'll never know what if feels like to be loved,
to be shown off like a trophy,
most people opt out and leave before they even get a chance to know me.
So I'll sit here,
Just like how I sat there as you danced with her.
Instead, I'll be like the trophy sitting in your forgotten display case
waiting, collecting dust.
All while in reality I am lonely,
and I just want somebody to see me shine.
so yes, I lied to you when I said I was fine,
but you should have been mine.
Did it take you all this time to realize that?
You left me crying and had me wish I were dying,
can't you see that this is me trying.
