“Should It Hurt to Love You”

I may be obsessed but I don’t care
No one said life had to be fair
My heart is trying to handle it all
At the same time he’s my soft place to fall

He “knows” me but how much does he really care?
So many others have feelings to share
Sometimes it seems so irrational
His impact is international

He’ll go on a Tweet spree
And Tweet everyone but me
Why do I even demand so much?
I’ve had his glance, had his touch

He can’t give me what I truly desire
Jealousy consumes like wildfire
It was good feeling special while it lasted
If my hope was a glass he smashed it

My head spins and my heart pounds
We could’ve had something no one has found
I wish I could be in his arms again
I’d be elated just to see that key chain

The charm that connects us is nowhere in sight
This might be what keeps me up at night
When he walked up to me I’d never felt so wanted
But that’s in the past and now I’m haunted

By the memories of what was and will never be
Emptiness engulfs me and I can’t see
Past the salty sorrow that forms in my eyes
Falling in love unreciprocated isn’t wise

He wouldn’t want to hurt me, I already know
What little we have I don’t want to blow
Don’t dwell on dreams and forget to live
But that’s hard when you’ve got so little to give

I wouldn’t trade the pain for anything else
People might tell me to take care of myself
But that’s the thing, it’s not about me
There are 20 million other souls he sets free

He always says we’re all in this together
The bond with supporters is his true treasure
But for some reason I just wanna be alone
Alone with him is where I feel at home

I could never get enough of holding each other
I’ll just have to imagine being his only lover
And though I’ll keep hidden how I really feel
I’ve never been surer that it’s real

So don’t be still my beating heart
It’s proof I’m not falling completely apart
Misery may linger but I’ll take what I can
If I’m allowed only a piece of this beautiful man
