Maybe

Maybe I'm the girl who's meant to be alone
Sitting at a coffee shop, looking at all the happy love stuck couples
Maybe I'm too complicated for anyone to love
Maybe it's my dull brown eyes
Or the way I can never finish a story without stuttering
Maybe it's because my feelings get hurt easily, but I brush it off like nothing phases me.
Maybe it's because how I feel and how I act never match up
I could be rotting away like a corpse on the inside, but you'd never notice past my casual smile
Maybe it's because I didn't put out
Spread my legs like a whore to get anyone's attention
Maybe it's because I'm too nervous to actually act upon my feelings
Overthinking convinces me I'll be shut down and unwanted
Maybe it's because I'm not funny enough, can't finish the joke and end up becoming the punch line
Maybe it's because I'm not pretty enough, there's so many other girls out there, why would you have eyes for only one
Maybe it's because I don't understand you the way you'd want me to
Maybe it's because I'm not intelligent enough
Maybe
It's
Me
