Silliness In Loneliness

Invisibly Alone.

If I have to demand the things that I need

Then you're not the man for me

I'd rather be lonely

If I'm not a priority

Silly little games

All you do is play them

Staying up late

Often past the AM

If I don't matter

Then you should just tell me

I'd rather be lonely

If I'm not your one and only

Silly little promises

All you do is make them

Saying that you'll change

How quickly you forget you made them

If you don't love me

Then you should just leave

I'd rather be lonely

If I'm not your priority

Silly of me to love you

Silly of me to put nothing above you

Silly of me to neglect myself

Silly of me to think you were the one

When you only gave a damn about yourself

Silly of me not to see clearly

When your actions spoke

And showed just how little you care

I'd rather be alone

Because I already feel lonely with you.
