Attention

All my friends are at the park
While I'm home with my guitar
Why can't they see
That I am lonely?
I can see on Instagram
That I am not one of them
Oh, what I'd give
Just to feel wanted

All I need is a little attention
Is that so much to ask?
Watching everybody run without me is a sip from a half-empty glass
Is it selfish to want some attention
When I give all I can?
Growing up to be "Friend A" was never part of the plan

Whoa, uh oh
Whoa, uh oh
Whoa, uh oh

What is it about me
That people just hate to see?
I just wanna have fun
Hang out with someone
Everyone is so busy
Not enough for others, but too busy for me
They say it's all in my head
But if that's true, then why am I still in bed?

All I need is a little attention
Is that so much to ask?
Watching everybody run without me is a sip from a half-empty glass
Is it selfish to want some attention
When I give all I can?
Growing up to be "Friend A" was never part of the plan

Whoa, uh oh
Whoa
Whoa

You may think that I'm self-centered and that I think I'm on top of the world
But I just feel the world's against me
And that I'm Invisible Girl
I am so paranoid nobody loves me
And I can't avoid the thought that I might be
Someone that people just tolerate just to be nice
I feel so goddamn alone

All I need is a little attention
Is that so much to ask?
Watching everybody run without me is a sip from a half-empty glass
Is it selfish to want some attention
When I give all I can?
Growing up to be "Friend A" was never part of the plan

Whoa, uh oh
Growing up to be a nobody was never part of the plan
