So Much For Staying Strong

i dont know what to do, im an absolute mess.
his heart is of gold and his eyes of perfection.
thing is, i am not easy to impress.
now this is nothing short of an obsession.

when i took time for myself, i lost.
he learned to live without me.
i didnt realize what a little time would cost.
i wish it didnt take this much for me to see.

now this is where i am.

i am in love with a boy that will never love me back.
my heart is split and my knees are weak.
there will forever be something my life will lack.
i found him, there is nothing more for me to seek.

so, i sit in pain everyday.
relating to every love song.
i suppose i will just whither away.
so much for staying strong.
