Would You Adore Me?
Is it ok?
If out of the teeming void of unloved and unloving...
Can I just ask for one
One of 7 billion
To think that I'm the best?
I don't need to be number 1 anymore.
This world has too many competing for the title
And none worried about those unloved.
But can you be my hero, my cheerleader, my guide?
And can you...
Withstand all logic and defy all sense
Obstruct the obvious conclusion
That they all have
And still think I'm the best?
Don't roll out a blood-red carpet
Leave the cheering fans in my head where they exist
Don't stop the clocks, leave the kettle on.
Let me be alone in my obscurity.
But can you be alone with me?
And still think I'm the best?
How did I end up here?
How did I get so lost?
Can you even find me?
Why can't I feel you?
When you are all around me?
Why can't I see you?
When you sing a lullaby to calm me to sleep
Every night
That I am without you.
Can you not see me for the wreck they see me as
Can I beg for a sympathetic saviour
Can't I use my one wish
To ask for just one
You don't need to say it,
I don't need to hear it.
It can be our little secret.
That somewhere deep inside
Only one soul needs to think it
And one day I will find you
And for a reason which I will never know
You will put my aching heart to rest
And somehow think I'm the best.
