The Only Mistake Was You

So this young girl,
She's so confused and lonely.
All she wanted was a chance with you,
You're her one and only.

What's so wrong with her,
That you can't even see that she cares?
What's so wrong with you,
That you can't notice she's always been there.

She has always stuck beside you,
Never hurt you or did anything bad.
You didn't even notice,
She's the best thing you've ever had.

Why can't you just open your eyes,
And see that you're her life?
Instead of making her cry every night,
Making her end the grief with a knife.

You acted like you cared about her,
She actually thought she wasn't alone.
But you didn't know she existed,
None of your feelings were ever shown.

She was completely honest,
Told you everything that was on her mind.
But you just never confessed your feelings,
You hid them so they were impossible to find.

This depressed lonely girl,
Still sits here every night.
Wondering where she went wrong,
If she had did even one thing right.

All she ever dreamed of,
Was having someone as special as you.
But apparently she wasn't good enough,
You just never loved her too.

Now you've lost you chances with her,
She's the best thing you could've ever had.
She may still want to be with you,
But she won't fall again, she's too sad.

You had all the time that you needed,
You knew exactly how she felt.
Now you'll have to win her back,
Go ahead, try to make her heart melt.

You say you want someone to love,
Yet you still won't let her try.
She never even got one chance,
Now all she wants is to die.

Open your eyes and see her,
Just loving you for exactly who you are.
Isn't that what you wanted,
Someone to make you happy and take you far?

Now she's just confused,
Thinking she's not good enough.
When in reality she's special,
Chasing you was just too tough.

Everything she did in her life,
Was to find someone as perfect as you.
But now she thinks she has failed,
As if loving you wasn't the right thing to do.

I guess that's the end of her story,
Growing up thinking she's not worth it.
I guess that's always been the truth,
Just crying every night and throwing another fit.

Thinking you never loved her,
When deep inside you just needed to listen.
Now you're going to have to settle for someone else,
You have no idea what your missin'.
