I Tried

I tried to get your attention, get you to notice me
You hardly ever gave me a glance
I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you, but
Apparently she is
Tell me what's so special about her
Obviously it's something I just don't have
Never can, never will get it
As much as I try, I'm not like her
Not even close You're to blind to see what's 
right in front of your face, What always was 
there and 
what always Will be right in front of your nose 
But you'll never know it,You're always too busy 
with your girl To notice any others 
But, you'll see when you finally see me 
I won't be there, the only thing left 
Will be my shadow, nothing else Then you'll 
be sorry.
