You'Ve Never Been Loved By You

What do you know
Self loathing spills
Don't realize your own worth
Can't understand what I see

You've never seen you with my eyes
Never felt the vanity at the reflection
Of me in your eyes 
I love how I look in your eyes as you love me

You'd understand my love for you
If you'd ever been loved by you
You would know the immensity of it
You'd feel the soul shattering connection

If you ever got to love you
And were loved back by you in return
You'd know my reluctance to give up
You'd know the pain of your absence

Loving you and being loved by you
The world's greatest sensations
To be me in front of you
To have you love me for it

You've always had you
He's only known love with you
Only I know the pain
of having you and then having to watch you go

Taken for granted
By him because he's not had to watch you leave 
And yourself
You'd understand my heart if had ever been loved by you
