i don't like the notion of competing
for a love i thought was all my own
i refuse to take her sloppy seconds
to reap what her love has sown
i want someone who will not hurt me
the way your sideways glances do
there is no comfortable way to
pretend that I'm blind and cannot see
This is not the way to be adored
when I am not the only one
If I cant count on your commitment
I'd rather be alone!
I'd rather be alone...
I realise that there's no way to solve this
I'll never believe that she is off your mind
that unrelenting force that abounds is
one that can't be solved with only time
i wont cower in the shadows of feigned indifference
i am hurt and i am not afraid to say
i have never quite been able to make sense
of your decision to pretend to be okay
if it hurts then own it
if it's wrong discard it
if it cannot come to be
open your eyes to see
everything in this life
can be overcome
if we try...
but please don't insult me
by asking for time
because i know that I'll never be
the one you had in mind.
