Unrequited True Love, Part 2

So why does it end with the love lies? Now once you got to Jr. High People were cruel, it was hard to get by Getting depressed in the circle of life But now girls are better, more shapely now than then You started getting excited when one made the slightest bend It happened again and hit like softball When a girl named Mason picked you for the team above them all And the one day when you graded her paper Pretended not to know her, and asked the teacher And not too shabbily you made a new friend And a new confidante to make laughs with sins The Summer went by, you wanted to ask her out But she moved away, strike three you’re out! And maybe Betty, Jocelyn weren't anything to you And Cindy Snow, Lola, Mason meant so much it’s true You found yourself back in your self induced prison Until Casey brought you out of your demons She was a nice young thrill who’s looks could kill Nothing could go wrong you thought, until it will She was a young sporty type with her head in the game And the only true thing you knew of her was her name You slipped a note in her locker, putting feelings in honest But never knew what could have been ‘cause you left it anonymous And the feelings grew for two long years Until It grew a life of its own that you always feared Rejection, no question It’s always been near Just imaginations, delusions Simply all too weird And into the ride in your Sophomore year You’re still all alone, everyone’s found their dears And it pierces you like a thousand knives Well not quite, 50 billion more like It’s so sad because he’s perfect and there’s nothing you can do You spent so much time worrying about something that wasn't true You loved her too much that your friendship got stuck Can’t love again, at least for a long time not So let me ask you again, why do you feel? That only unrequited love is the only love that’s real? Maybe it’s just you but look at everyone else Before you think about love, maybe you should love yourself
