From JV to Varsity...

You were the sweetest boy I've ever met.
From opening the door to calling me pretty you were perfect.
You are enough for me and I was enough for you.

But when autumn came something happened.
You were no longer my sweet boy on the JV football team.
No.
You were Varsity now.
and you changed.

From sweet to arrogant, the boy I knew was gone.
And when the popular girls took interest in you I was no longer enough,
because I would never be like them...

I would never be Homecoming Queen.
I would never be a Cheerleader.
I would never be a Model.

I will only ever be the girl who stays home on Saturday nights to read and do homework.
but that wasn't enough to keep you around.
I wasn't enough.

You wanted more and you wanted them,
because they are just like you.
They are varsity.
And me?
I'm nothing like you,
I'm still JV.
