Bright and bubbly in the picture
With your friends, go figure
You always were happy
unlike me, I was sappy

Looking at you breaks my heart
I always loved you but I didn't know where to start
to tell you that I loved you
that I dreamed of it being me, and you too

But I was afraid, rightly so
I was a fool, didn't you know?
You did, but you were too cute
To tell me how I was a brute

Not for you, not me for you
I would have said I love you too
if I was brave enough
All I could really say was some funny stuff

I sent you a letter
Thought I could make things better
For you and me, the opposite of sappy
If I just had the chance I'd make us happy

But I came off too strong
Damn well it took long
For you to read the letter
And realize I'm no better

Do you really need me?
Or do I need you?
It doesn't matter anymore
That this poem should rhyme

You don't need me, but I need you
If I just had the chance to make us happy
All I would be doing is making myself happy
You don't need me, but I need you
