lyrics

I loved her she didn't love me,
I liked her she didn't like me,
She loved me I just didn't see,
He loved me I couldn't love him.
Kicked something out of place,
I loved her she didn't love me,
I saw something she just couldn't be,

Wanted to be what I couldn't be,
I became something I couldn't bare to be,
I cry when you give me your smile,
I laugh when you kick me in the teeth,
She loved me I just didn't see,
I loved her she didn't love me,
I saw beauty, she saw nothing at all.

I cry when you give me your smile,
I loved her she didn't love me,
I saw something she just couldn't tell,
She saw beauty, I saw nothing at all
She saw beauty, I saw nothing at all.
