It's Not Working

I try to dress up cute; you never look my way,
I think it's not enough; I change by the next day,

I don't know what to do; I want to impress you,
Do you have any clue of what I'm going through?

I try to look impressive, and I don't catch your eye,
Instead, I feel I'm cornered, checked out by other guys,

I just want you to like me, you and you alone,
Is that so much to ask for? How could you be so cold?

Why isn't this working? I want to look so nice;
I just want to impress you, but only in your eyes,

The worst thing is, you like me when I dress up like me,
Which is very hard to do with split personality,

I wish you would just see me, if only in your eyes,
When you turn to ignore me, it makes me want to cry,

I can't help but dress up, for you sit next to me,
And I want to be the prettiest ever could there be,

I try so hard to show you that I can look so nice,
But you shift your gaze, you barely look me in the eye,

It's not working, it's not working, I'm saying to myself,
Tomorrow I will have to put these nice clothes on the shelf,

I want to be like me, but I want to impress you,
Split personalities make that rather hard to do,

Tomorrow I'll dress different; wait again, you'll see,
But this time I'll try hard to once again be me.
