Are "We" Possible?
Pretty boy, listen
Behind this devilish grin
Lies a child scared of rejection
I want your approval; your acceptation
Because your kindness is familiar
It is all so very similar
To the kind of person I wish to be
But sadly I am just me
Am I something you desire?
Something you could admire?
To be what you want.
Someone you would flaunt.
Is it my age?
Is it to big of a range?
I might be younger in years
But mature are my tears
But reasonable are my fears
But Foolish are my peers
Only in comparison to I
I had to try
Because I love you
This isn't the movies; that's not your cue
No this isn't the movies and I don't get to call you mine
There is no happy ending for me; I'll be fine
I'll go back to starring from the shadows
This way the river of normality still flows
Like nothing has changed, nothing was said
Back to the same situation that I dread
Behind this devilish grin
Lies a child scared of rejection
I want your approval; your acceptation
Because your kindness is familiar
It is all so very similar
To the kind of person I wish to be
But sadly I am just me
Am I something you desire?
Something you could admire?
To be what you want.
Someone you would flaunt.
Is it my age?
Is it to big of a range?
I might be younger in years
But mature are my tears
But reasonable are my fears
But Foolish are my peers
Only in comparison to I
I had to try
Because I love you
This isn't the movies; that's not your cue
No this isn't the movies and I don't get to call you mine
There is no happy ending for me; I'll be fine
I'll go back to starring from the shadows
This way the river of normality still flows
Like nothing has changed, nothing was said
Back to the same situation that I dread
