Slipped Feelings

I almost let something slip today

About the way I felt

It almost jumped right out my mouth

And changed the cards we’re dealt



I knew she had your beating heart

Right from that first day

And I also knew who wanted it

And the prices she would pay



It seemed so different way back then

From the way I see you now

You’re exactly as imagined

Only slightly different somehow



Do you even know how I feel?

Adoration lives in these eyes

But you turn your head and pass it over

Bit by bit my hope just dies



In all your effort scolding her

You forget to notice me

All my time, help gone wasted

You’ve pushed me to a back seat



Even if you knew how I felt

What would happen then?

Nothing, like always in my life

My stay here has come to end



So I sit silently, watching, waiting

But even if you could see

Nothing would ever come of it

It’s just not meant to be
