Unrequited
I’m so sorry that I can’t be
Everything that you want from me
I’m sorry that I’m left trying to say
No, in the very kindest way
I get so confused, and I don’t understand
Why things never work out the way someone plans
Why we all run in circles, and why it’s so hard
To run towards each other instead of apart
You chase me, and I chase him
And he chases another, that’s how it’s been
For as long as I’ve been around to know
That’s why I’m so afraid to let my feelings show
No matter how I feel, it seems that I’m wrong
No matter what I do, I hurt someone
Whether it’s someone else, or me, or you,
It kills me that it’s something I can’t help but do
And as hard as I look, I can’t see a solution
I try to make my own resolution
To stop worrying when it isn’t my fault
But I haven’t yet brought my concerns to a halt
And I’m not sure that I ever will
I hurt for you once, I hurt for you still
Though a lack of emotions sometimes seems ideal
We’re all just people, we can’t help but feel
Sometimes we love when it isn’t returned
Through it all, this one thing I learned:
Crushes suck.
