Unrequited

I wonder if I'm ever on your mind;
I think about it from time to time.
I wanted to be one of those girls you were head over heels for,
'Cause how you make me feel is hard to ignore,
 And I wish we could be so much more,
But I know we'd never work because in this situation,
I'm the only one being hurt.
And i know that's not your intention, But what can I do?
I've already fallen head over heels for you.
I wish that wasn't the case;
Your touch and smile, I'm trying my hardest to replace.
But all I think of is your face,
Wondering why it's always me that ends up in this place.
I don't wanna complicate things, But I know I already have.
'Cause I can't live with you or without you,
And it's driving me mad.
I want your friendship and your love, But you can only afford to give me one.
Is this worth the friendship I'm giving up?
I know it's not, but I just can't stop these thoughts.
And when I turn them off, it's no better.
I'm tryna hang onto you like my favorite sweater,
And I know I gotta let you go, But that's the hardest part.
'Cause you're the one who has my heart, But all I'm doing is tearing us apart.
Self-sabotage is the only way to make things clear.
Sometimes I wonder, why am I even here?
Why did it have to be you?
And I can't take it,
Knowing someone else is making you smile.
I know it's selfish, but I can't help it.
You see, my pride gets the best of me, and I stop seeing things so clearly.
I don't wanna hurt you,
But I guess I'm just projecting.
The pain of your rejection hits me like a wave time and time again,
But To gladly drown just for a piece of you.
