Never Would Have
I know it never would have worked; I'm anxious, I'm deeply emotional, and I'm incredibly impatient. I hate the sounds that humans make, I have a mouth like a sailor, and I don't fucking apologize for it. You've never been curious about me You never asked me to dance I never believed a word you said to me, and yet I believed every single one of them, far too much. I'm complicated, I'm intense, and I'm altogether fucked up. He puts up with a lot And I'm not really pretty. You'd never believe a word I said to you, and yet I'd mean every single one of them, far too much. I'm excessively honest with you, and I lie to myself constantly. You're fickle, You're aloof, and you sometimes forget that I'm a person, too. You only care about the fragility of the things that matter to you, and not one of them is me. We can talk about missed chances, bad decisions, and how we were so close. But you know, too; it never would have worked.
