Unnoticed

That smile of yours is so carefree,
I’m not sure you know I exist.
Oh, look what you’ve done to me. 

I’m short enough that you can’t see,
You’re not sure what you missed.
That smile of yours is so carefree.

You receive a gift, who could it be?
You don’t even check the list,
Oh, look what you’ve done to me.

I sit you down and pour you tea,
You laugh as you assist.
That smile of yours is so carefree. 

You’re not sure what to make of me,
Yet still, I do persist. 
Oh, look what you’ve done to me. 

Perhaps I’m just a nobody,
But I think you get the gist.
That smile of yours is so carefree,
Oh, look what you’ve done to me.
