I'm not the kind of person

That gets asked on a date

I am the kind of person

That will always wait

To get a birthday invitation

I'm a bit of a lonely girl

I'm often forgotten

It's not the end of the world

I'd just like to hang out too

I'd like to go out

They just don't see me

Because I am never loud

I often feel alone

I would like someone to stay

I'm so tired for waiting for all this

Every single day

I never had someone

Close enough to hold

"You'll make it on your own"

I was always told

If I'd ever have someone

Close enough to keep

I wouldn't know how to hold on

And I couldn't sleep

I hope there'll be someone

Who holds on to me

And shows me all the things

I couldn't yet see.
