I'm seeing you places you aren't
and you were never in that crowd but
I'd rather grasp at thin straws
than give up and lose you because my
work ethic just isn't strong enough
(I'll show you all and you'll regret
the words you say behind my back)

I can't write poetry that's not
about you and I don't know what's happened
to me but I'm hoping I come off as
dedicated or anything besides
too desperate for attention
(I'll show you all and you'll regret
the words you say behind my back)
