No one is ever going to want me
Are you feeling all alone?
Does it seem the world just shuts you out?
Do you hear God laughing as he pulls his wicked strings,
And the puppets on stage all amble away from you?
Does your soul cry for a mate,
Does your heart long for some warmth,
Do your frozen veins thaw at the slightest hint of attraction?
Well if no one's there to love you
You just need to be a man
If no one's there to love you
You just gotta do it yourself
Yeah you don't need to hang from the shelf
Just love yourself
That's what they all say
That's what they'll all tell you
When you try to open up
Your tears stain the screen as you text them
Your hands quiver and your breath shakes
You shiver in the cold of a quiet empty room
After the sun sets on a painful afternoon
You tell them everything hurts,
And that everything longs for someone
All these cuts on your wrists need to be kissed before they can heal
All these scars in your heart won't fade until you can feel
And all this pain just won't end, because every waking moment is a reminder
That no one has ever wanted you,
That no one has ever needed you,
That no one will ever miss you
And they'll skim through your heart
All poured out in the LEDs before them
And they'll snuggle just a bit closer
To the warmth of their naked lover
The pictures of a couple together will watch them from the walls
As they take a steady breath
Their lover entangles their fingers and reminds them they're wanted
And they'll say:
Well if no one's there to love you
You just need to be a man
If no one's there to love you
You just gotta do it yourself
Yeah you don't need to hang from the shelf
Just love yourself
Just love yourself
Just love yourself
Just love yourself
Just love yourself
I've heard it a million times before
And I've tried it a billion times before
And I went and danced with myself
I talked with myself, went to dinner with myself, bought gifts for myself
I was kind to myself
But I just couldn't look myself in the eye
And love something that's never been loved before
I've done all I could
So maybe I shouldn't expect someone else
To do what even I can't.
