Unrequited True Love, Part 2
So why does it end with the love lies?
Now once you got to Jr. High
People were cruel, it was hard to get by
Getting depressed in the circle of life
But now girls are better, more shapely now than then
You started getting excited when one made the slightest bend
It happened again and hit like softball
When a girl named Mason picked you for the team above them all
And the one day when you graded her paper
Pretended not to know her, and asked the teacher
And not too shabbily you made a new friend
And a new confidante to make laughs with sins
The Summer went by, you wanted to ask her out
But she moved away, strike three you’re out!
And maybe Betty, Jocelyn weren't anything to you
And Cindy Snow, Lola, Mason meant so much it’s true
You found yourself back in your self induced prison
Until Casey brought you out of your demons
She was a nice young thrill who’s looks could kill
Nothing could go wrong you thought, until it will
She was a young sporty type with her head in the game
And the only true thing you knew of her was her name
You slipped a note in her locker, putting feelings in honest
But never knew what could have been ‘cause you left it anonymous
And the feelings grew for two long years
Until It grew a life of its own that you always feared
Rejection, no question
It’s always been near
Just imaginations, delusions
Simply all too weird
And into the ride in your Sophomore year
You’re still all alone, everyone’s found their dears
And it pierces you like a thousand knives
Well not quite, 50 billion more like
It’s so sad because he’s perfect and there’s nothing you can do
You spent so much time worrying about something that wasn't true
You loved her too much that your friendship got stuck
Can’t love again, at least for a long time not
So let me ask you again, why do you feel?
That only unrequited love is the only love that’s real?
Maybe it’s just you but look at everyone else
Before you think about love, maybe you should love yourself
