unwanted

(альбом: before we say goodbye - 2023)

New York city and a silk dress
Ordered champagne, but you couldn't care less
Stone-cold stare in the candlelight
You didn't want to talk, but you wanted to fight

There was somewhere else that you wanted to be
I didn't know where
But it wasn't with me

I don't know how to give you up
You knew I'd never been in love
You showed me what I had to lose
Then hurt me when I trusted you
Now I'm broken no good to anyone
With a heart that you left haunted
It's bad enough to be unloved
But it's worse to be unwanted

Seafoam eyes
Said the water was safe
The devil in disguise had a poker face
I believed it all, every word you said
The wave in crashed now the dream is dead

I know there's somewhere else that you wanted to be
I didn't know where
But it wasn't with me

I don't know how to give you up
You knew I'd never been in love
You showed me what I had to lose
Then hurt me when I trusted you
Now I'm broken, no good to anyone
With a heart that you left haunted
It's bad enough to be unloved
But it's worse to be unwanted

I know there's somewhere else that you wanted to be
I didn't know where
But it wasn't with me

I don't know how to give you up
You knew I'd never been in love
You showed me what I had to lose
Then hurt me when I trusted you
Now I'm broken no good to anyone
With a heart that you left haunted
It's bad enough to be unloved
But it's worse to be unwanted
