Who I Wanted You To Be

by Alli Prater   Jan 7, 2007


You say you saw me through the glass
So how could you just walk right past
Me and how I feel
You can't pretend it wasn't real
But you can just walk away
And Deal with it another day
You don't have time for me
You have so many other things to do
But I see it all so clearly now
I'll never be good enough for you
I wanna just walk away
And deal with it another day
But I can't just let these things go
And if I don't tell you, then you'll never know
That I'm too cold to love you
Yet I cry these tears of ice
I'm not strong enough to hate you
Maybe I could just despise
You for who you are
And the things you refuse to see
I tried so hard to hate you
So much that now I hate me
For trying to be who you want
knowing that I never will
Doing everything I can
To convince myself it wasn't real
Drowning in this numbness
It occurred to me
That I wasn't in love with you
But who I wanted you to be
