I look into your beautiful brown eyes and all i see is emptiness. Your eyes tell a story, of a boy who had everything he ever wanted, And it still wasn't enough.
You had to always have the prettiest girl on your arm, And the best clothes money could buy on your back. You had to drive the fastest car to places I could never go. You were always seen in the fanciest restaurants, sitting next to the Prom Queen or the Captain of the cheerleading squad, laughing at jokes you didn't understand.
But it still wasn't enough.
I watched you live your fairytale life. I watched people hand you everything on a silver plate; watched them pat you on the back for something someone else had accomplished.
I watched you break their hearts and laugh at their tears. I watched you walk out of the room like nothing in the world mattered. You would jump into your shiny car and ride the skyline back into your perfect plastic world. And you never once slowed down at a stop sign to regret any of it.
It wasn't enough for you to sleep under those designer silk sheets next to long-haired models with perfect teeth and ocean-blue eyes while i spent night after sleepless night curled up in a ball on my cold living room floor, crying about how things in my life never seem to go as planned? That wasn't enough for you?
You had to break my heart too, or it wasn't enough. Me... the one who didn't matter. The one who always fucked up. You had to do everything better, and people always noticed. You had to be everyone's Prince Charming. You had to break a heart as soon as you had captured it. And you had to flaunt it.
I look into your eyes and all i see is regret. Cuz you had me, you had me right where you wanted me. You had me in a trance, in complete awe of you. You had my heart hanging by a string that you let snap, and you watched me fall and fall and fall, and when i finally hit the ground, you just walked around me.
You have nothing to show for all those years of trophies and pats on the back. All you have is the emptiness, and i see it in your eyes, so clearly. You're lost without me, and I'm fine without you and YOU HATE THAT. You hate that for once, I did something better. I hung onto my dreams. I didn't let them slip away when things got shaky. I didn't throw away love at the chance to hop a plane to Paris or at the thought of what it would be like to lie next to a girl who's thinner, and taller, and blonder. I didn't waste my time making a name for myself, instead i let myself become a nameless nobody, but that nobody had pride.
I watched you take down everybody you've ever known into your grasp, and then i watched you crush them. their dreams, their hearts. But you couldn't crush mine. I was too strong for you.
Someone made me a princess. He let me choose any movie in the entire store that i wanted to rent. He didnt take me to some classy restaurant and pretend to like my jokes; he cooked me a $5 spaghetti dinner and we drank orange Kool-aid out of champagne glasses. He didn't drive me around in his fast car with the moon roof down and the radio blaring... we layed on the hood of his '88 Honda and watched the stars, his hand in mine, my heart in his. I'm no Prom Queen, and he's no James Dean. I have no 3-karat diamond to show off, no promise of forever, no manicured nails to flaunt, but i think you are still jealous, and i just wanted to rub it in your face.
I'm someone's princess. It didn't cost me my beauty, just my soul. So you, in your plastic world with your Kani shirt and your Gucci watch, while you sleep in satin tonight with some Cover Girl, think of me once, sleeping in my flannel Tigger sheets under a handful of plastic stars, next to a guy who will still be here in the morning, and who will still remember my name, and think of what you're missing.

Find one person you can count on forever, one person you can love forever, and one person you can be with forever... and if you're lucky, it will all be the same person.
