When I was young, I fell in love with a guy I couldn't have.
We lived in two different worlds and I wanted him to take a second to peep into mine.

So I became a doll.
I dressed up,
I powdered up,
But I never powered up.
I didn't have the strength to face him, with my heart doing all those somersaults that only those in love are familiar with.

I waited too long,
The sands were already in the bottom of the hourglass.
His attention was no longer available and neither was his heart.

So I just stood there.
Watching from afar.
