Lately nothing I do ever seems to please you
Or even catch your attention
If I acted more like her
Would you care?
Would we have inside jokes and talk for hours
Like you and...that girl?

All she does is talk about you
And all you do is talk about her
There is something wrong with this picture
I though you loved me
Not...that girl
Yet you spend
Every second of every minute
Of every hour of every day
With that girl

Should I start acting like her?
Should I fit one of the cookie cutter molds
Of who I should be
And the way I should act?
Would I please you then?
Would I catch your attention?
Would you finally love me
Like you used to
Before you met her?
