Break

Why can’t I catch a break
Every time I let myself go
I fall back into place

I’ll never be that perfect girl
Mysterious, interesting
Wanted

I’ll always be the one on the shelf
Who people take for granted

Too big, too loud
Too much, not enough
I constantly feel torn

I try my best to be just me
But that’s not good enough

So once again I sit and cry
Asking the universe once again
Why?

Why do I let myself think that happiness is in reach
When there’s people in line before me

Every time I’ve reached the top
There’s another ledge to climb
Why can I be wanted?
Would that be a crime?

I know I’m not that special
I know I’m not enough
But please oh please give me a break
Because being alone is rough
