Special

I know I'm not the only girl that's crossed your path,
And I know I don't mean much to you,
But I want to be that girl you can still turn to,
Without feeling awkward and shy.

I know I'm not your definition of perfect,
Nor am I the nicest girl out there,
But I'm willing to keep you as a friend,
Even if you did shatter my heart.

Because I don't want to believe that you're cold-hearted,
And I want to believe your stupid excuses,
Because maybe somewhere behind those excuses,
A truth lies deep inside.

Because maybe you really did like me at some point,
And maybe I did have a chance,
And maybe we would be together if we had more time,
And maybe it really isn't me, it's you.

I don't want to be like the other girls out there,
I don't want to talk behind your back,
I want to believe that you're just human,
And not everything goes the way I want it to.

But no matter what anybody says,
And no matter what you've done,
I know I wanna be right there your side
Whenever you need me.

Because I know what it's like to be alone,
I know it's then you really need someone,
Because I never had that someone to turn to,
And I don't want you to feel the same way.

And maybe because nobody cared about me,
My yearn for sympathy is greater than others,
And just maybe because I know how you feel,
I won't be like those other people

Who turn away when you really need them.
Maybe I'll actually be that special someone
That I've always wanted and dreamed of,
That special someone who knows how you feel

Just by the look on your face.
That someone who you can call up
At 3AM in the morning and talk to for hours,
That someone who'd be willing to listen to your problems

Just because you're you.
That someone that knows you better than anybody,
That someone who truly understands you,
That someone who would give you honest answers
Even if that means hurting your feelings.

That someone that I never had,
That someone I'll never have,
That someone who never knew the tears shed into my pillow,
That someone that I've always wanted.

That someone that never heard me crying in my sleep,
That someone whose arms never hugged me tight,
That someone who never said the right words,
That someone I could never turn to.

Just because you made a decision
That turned my life upside-down,
Doesn't mean you're worth losing,
Because life goes on no matter what.

I want to be your special someone,
And fulfill the things that my someone never did,
And be there by your side
Whenever you need me.
