Heart On A String

Just once, I wish I could be loved the way I love. 

Just once, I wish someone would care. 

All alone even in a crowded room.

I know for me no one will ever be there. 

I've given all I have to give. 

I've loved with all my heart,

Still I'm never good enough to be loved in return 

I just need a chance to restart. 

I'm not blind

But even the blind could see. 

I'm just a toy for your amusement.

You really don't desire me. 

I'll never be good enough. 

I'll never be pretty enough for you

I'll I'll always be second best, maybe even 3rd or 4th

I don't know what I want to do. 

Part of me hopes you aren't blind either. 

That you truly do feel the magic in the air

The other part of me wants to. walk away

The other part of me sees how little you care.

You say you don't know what you want, 

Sometimes I think you just want to dangle me like a string

You're playing with my heart pretending to care, 

When really I'm nothing more than a fling. 

So I should be the strong one. 

I should be the one to walk away, 

But my heart says there's something between us.

So I'll hang on for another day. 

Just once I wish I could be loved the way I love. 

Freely and without regret or sorrow. 

But that isn't my fate. 

I'll always be alone come tomorrow.
