Why Try
He was her prince charming
She was not princess material
She didn't measure up
And never would
Why try
He saw potential in her
No one else could see
She'd never measure up
Why try
He put her on a pedestal
Treated her with gallantry
He catered to her every whim
She felt unworthy
As if she were a fraud
She'd never measure up
Why try
He kept at it
Only to be brokenhearted
She took and left him without a dime
He finally gave up
Would have forgiven all for a smile
She knew she didn't measure up
Why try
