I cannot believe that I was naïve enough,
was stupid enough,
to believe that someone might want me,
that you might want me.
A mistake I hope I never make again.
I wanted to believe I meant something to someone.
I wanted to believe I meant something to you,
but I was wrong.
You don’t want me,
I don’t mean anything to you.
I’m just a sad girl with a sad crush,
I’m just a girl, who means nothing,
a girl who is a nobody
a girl who won’t be somebody’s, someone.
Just a plain ordinary teenage girl.
