Did you think I was stupid?
That I didn't notice
All those looks you gave me
From across the room
When you thought I wasn't looking?
I noticed.
And I appreciated them.
But, I could never be
Who you thought I was,
Who you needed me to be.
I was a shell of myself,
Torn apart and set aside,
Left to heal
Only to be hurt again.
I wasn't what you saw.
The girl that sat across the room,
That smiled freely,
And laughed without fear?
That wasn't me.
That was what I wanted to be
That was what I knew I'd never be.
Cause I've been in fear
All my life
The fear of not being good enough,
Of simply not being enough.
The fear of being replaced,
Of being abandoned.
And they've all come true.
I wasn't good enough for them,
I wasn't enough for him,
I was replaced by those I loved,
And abandoned by those I needed.
