I think maybe i burned my last candle on you for awhile.
what's the point, anyway?
it seems like the closer i feel myself getting to you,
the more you become like a stranger.
I find myself going through these same familiar patterns...
The ones where i give everything in my heart,
Give it all until there's nothing left
And all i get is a "hey thanks" or your back as you walk out the door.
I dont need you to fall in love with me
I just want to know where i stand in your life.
Does any of this mean anything to you?
Any guy can come into my life and be nice to me...
Sure, they are rare and few,
But what keeps my mind drifting back to the guy who treated me like shit
Was feeling adored...
Feeling like i mattered
Feeling like i was more in his eye than any blond walking down the street.
There was nothing left of he and i to save,
Except that tingle, that feeling
That i always got when he looked at me,
Like i was the only girl in the world.
See, he pretended
It was all a facade
He was really looking through me the whole time,
but it got me.
And here we are, you and i
Filled with unspoken words and passing glances
Not since the moment i let you into my life
Have i once heard you say that i mean anything to you
And try as i might, i cant keep inside of me
the way i feel about you...
i tell you every chance i get
only to get a blank stare
that makes my heart ache
And i wonder if i'm wasting my time
with someone who will never get over his past
I'm NOT that girl who hurt you
I never would
But i can't continue to sleep in this bed next to you
If i dont know why the hell i'm doing it in the first place...
It feels too familiar,
Too fucking familiar
The way the kisses get fewer
And the nights waiting for you get longer
And the candle just about burns out
I must look ridiculous lying naked in that bed
all by myself
And i feel more and more
Just like your coworker,
Your pal
The chic you watch movies with
Whom you kiss quickly as you fly out the door in the morning
And who clutters your life with meaningless words
In cards, letters, emails
I dont know what it is you're looking for,
Or if you'll find it
But I can be this to anyone
And maybe that's selfish,
But i'm so sick of getting my heart caught up on
Someone who just isn't capable of returning it
There is no reason in the world for me to leave you
Someone who's been nothing but good to me
But maybe we are wasting our time
On something that's just not there...
This connection is taking too long to make
And quite frankly,
I've lost hope.
