Some say I live it good

But thats not what burns inside

I'm still the girl who tosses in the night

People smile when I walk by, and comment on how nice I am

But, would they still think that if they touched the depression I have swam?

Some days I sit there shaking wondering what I shall do

I wonder if my parents footsteps are the ones to pursue

I don't know who I am or who I'm meant to be

And people need to stop with “there are plenty in the sea”

How great a love is when it burns from within

But the embers don't always last and something eventually dies

Like him, for example

Will never be mine.

It does not matter if I paint a pretty picture

or look him in the eye

All ill ever be is average

and thats not alright with me

Because we always want what we cant have

and I hate how that is true

But I can't seem to let go,

I just can't seem to move

He is everything I want

and everything I can't have

He is in love with someone opposite of me

and slowly that ember dies, waiting to be set free

My heart yearns for love

but time can only tell

For now I'm only average.

Caught, between heaven and hell.
