One Sided Love Affair
Loving someone
when they don't love you back
is a uniquely painful thing
Pouring your heart out
to an empty void
leaves a most terrible sting
And a one sided love affair
when I love you and you don't care
it brings me down into despair
and I'm sure you have better things to do
than to bother with my love for you
There's no one there
when I look in the mirror
it's as if I can see through your eyes
'Cause when you look at me
you're not seeing me either
but I guess that it's really no surprise
and I know one day I'll be wise
but until then I'll tell myself lies
This old heart is out of whack
like an echo that won't come back
a locomotive that slipped off the track
and I'm quite sure you've better things to do
than to tell me that you love me too
And I guess that'll just have to do
