How far have you walked with people who've never kept your worth in heart?
How often have you battered bone only to sell yourself short?
Why do you find the unavailable so alluring? Where did it all begin?
Stooping yourself so low, what went wrong?

If they wanted you, wouldn't they have chosen you?
If it were for you, or had being for you, wouldn't it be yours?
All this time, all this time, you begged and raised your voice desperately wanting to heard and seen thinking they couldn't hear you...but they did and could even smell it on you - the desperation, It was quite obvious.

And what about the others? The ones for you?
Why do they suddenly seem useless?
The ableness in your arms, this potential you got,
Why do they suddenly seem unattractive? When did it all begin, You look around at others and find the unavailable so alluring
You see your features as flaws, your ableness as arrant,

How're you both of these kinds - The flighty and needful?
Where did you learn these? To want what does not want you
How did you get here?
Believe me, if something's destined for you, Not in a million years would it be for someone else.
