There was something that kept on building between us.
We both could feel it
but we ignored,
the wall growing,
separating us.

We were different ,
you and I.
You were the life of the party, showing off again.
I was in the sidelines,
to you maybe just a shoulder to cry on,
I just sat in the corner seeing the world go round.

I didn't like the spotlight.
But you lived in there.
I was maybe fooling myself,
thinking you were really in love with me.
I just knew it was a matter of time
before you find someone like
you...

And that's what you did.
I started to disappear from your parties,
and you found another boy.
The king of the world
with keys to your heart.
I could see you didn't miss me.
Wish I could say that too.

I loved you too much.
I don't know how I survived
all the initial insults,
sarcasm and bully.
I remember you said that
I was the one who stayed among all people who you once called friends.
But you see
I was not with you in the first place for you,
it was for my selfish self.
Cuz I wanted to stay near you.
