they tell you, if he can't give you all that you think you need // forfeit all his control for a chance at the dream // just start over, find another, its the thrill of the game // overplayed, underpaid, hide the script on the stage
but, who can blame them? they're in love with attention // want it when you get it, you can buy it, you'll always win // try and align starry eyes when he shows me affection // but you're so much more than him // you have so much more to give
lost this evening when I chose to give in and play // we had much to discuss, but so little to say // tried to settle for “much better”, received some jealousy // but those things they’re chasing after, they do nothing for me
I'll never be in love with attention // messed damsels in distress with more independence // try and pretend, feign interest in the efficient options // but I know it can’t be done // I don’t think it can be done
but, who can blame them? they're in love with attention // want it when you get it, you can buy it, you'll always win // try and align starry eyes, enter scene with discretion // but you're so much more than this
so sign me up, you're in love with attention // I’ll try to play guide when you’re lacking direction // set the bar too far, I'm starved for conversation // without the prerequisite // these kids aren’t cutting it
