Tightly Closed Seams

Wow, I know now that my feelings have changed.
Some old feelings, some new, some simply rearranged.
I thought that I wanted, wanted every part of you.
Turns out all I wanted was simply the thought of you.
Because you put me on a pedestal, on top of the world.
But I'm not important, look at me, I'm just a girl
that knows what she wants but occasionally gets confused
by interesting men who are easily amused.
Amused and attracted to things easily exposed.
But you know, behind these are the things that matter the most.
They are difficult to uncover and even more difficult to show.
Because they've already been hidden and carefully sown.
But you don't care enough to even make an effort to see
the good and the bad that are behind the tightly closed seams.
What happens from now on is all because of me...
I'm what you thought you wanted, but you don't do it for me.
