Love Lost

I can tell something has changed
The way you touch me doesn’t feel the same
You barely look at me anymore
Sometimes I feel like I’m just a bore
It hurts, but what can I do?
Obviously someone else has gotten a hold of you
I can’t explain exactly how I feel
It’s not like I ever had a spot for someone to steal
The thing is something is off track
The way you used to touch me, hug me, look at me, kiss me,
Yea I want that all back
You used to tell me how beautiful and sexy I am
Now I can’t even get that,
It is what it is, I can’t really be mad
You’re not my man, so why does it hurt so bad?
I sit and think…what can I do?
I just want to make it right; I want you to want me too
It sounds so pitiful, but unfortunately it’s true
Someone has your attention and your heart
Now I’m right back at start
I guess I have to make myself not care
But, it’s still not fair.
The love I had, now belongs to someone else
And now I’m here, again, all by myself.
