What a shallow thing
To obsess over a guy
And yet the human mind
seems determined to try

I have struggled and I have suffered
I have watched you every day
I fade into the background
As you go about your way

I have lied about my feelings
I have tried to hide away
And now you have forgotten me
Much to my dismay

Now you have a girl
A wonderful girl at that
But she's not me and she never will be
Oh come on, what's the matter with me?

I promised myself I would never give in
Never put myself down over some stupid guy
But my idiotic mind
Seems determined to try

So now I watch
All alone
As you smile with your girl
I turn my heart into stone

What a shallow thing
To obsess over a guy
Yet my pain-bringing mind
Seems determined to try
