This pretend game,
With you and me,
Acting like we’re something,
But you could never put forth what it takes to be committed,
Even though I wish you would,
Say it say it, you want only me,
Romantic ideals appear but vanish quickly,
When reality hits,
It happens solely in movies,
Why can’t my life turn out that way?
One day I hope you’re ready,
If not for me, she better deserve it,
You might come around after it’s too late,
After I’ve long given up on you,
It’s the way karma runs,
I might play a fool for you now,
But this dreaded love can’t last,
It’s probably just made up in my head,
If you don’t love me yet, there’s not much that could change,
I am what’s set before you,
How unexciting unfolded,
Could you walk awhile in my dreams,
Tell me things you can’t say aloud.

Days gone by
And you’ve dissipated
I’m starting to think you might be dead,
No sign of life from where I left you last,
Is the tumor in your head erupting,
Finally karma catching up,
Twist with a nail in your side,
One situation you can’t hide from,
All your secrets spill,
I know what you’ve been keeping,
Try to cover your tracks,
But in the end they always find out,
Have you been honest all this time,
Are you worth the worry?
Persuade me,
Show me you’re worth this wondering,
And live up to your mystery?

i’ve seen a new perspective,
and I don’t need you like I thought I might,
I take all I can get from you,
But it’s never enough,
You’re never willing to give more,
So why should I wait and hope
someday you’ll be mine,
you’ll always be the same,
I can’t rely on you,
you have a way of disappearing,
it’s the idea of you I love,
but not who you are and how you make me feel,
I don’t think I care as much as I should,
You’ll never be able to commit to anything,
If you were mad about me I’d know it,
But I don’t think you give a damn,
How many girls like me are you stringing along?

I’ll let you sleep on it,
Think about my kiss when it’s not available,
You can't hold me when I’m not around,
So count your lonely days without me,
Before you call me,
This is how it feels to never have me,
Can you live like that?
Is it easy enough?
I don’t want to be at your disposal any time you need,
But you’re never at mine,
I can’t put myself out there,
If you don’t want me like I want you,
These nights where you’re nowhere found,
I keep my composure, I’m fine staying home alone,
