Dream Boy

I wish you thought my voice was pretty
Like the other ones you do
Or that you'd feel an ounce of pity
So I'd come running back to you
And I could change piece after piece of myself
So you'd finally glance at me
But no matter what I do, I'm not worth it to you
And I'll never be

But all of your mixed signals
Make me think that the odds are in my favor
But at the end of the day
I'm left there cryin' out on my floor to someone's savior

I don't deserve your kindness
I don't deserve the way you treat me
I swore I'd never be like this, oh
Dream boy, can't you hear me?

I wish you thought my face was gorgeous
Or paid attention when I smiled
But your outer shell's a fortress
And I'd have to dig for miles
And I could fish for compliments
But I don't have the heart to even try
I want you to love me naturally
I want a love you can't describe

But all of your mixed signals
Make me think that the odds are in my favor
But at the end of the day
I'm left there cryin' out on my floor to someone's savior

I don't deserve your kindness
I don't deserve the way you treat me
I swore I'd never be like this, oh
Dream boy, can't you hear me?

And I never forgot when you told me you'd take my last name
And I never forgot the first time you said you loved me
And it feels so wrong, so right, so wrong, cuz you'll never reciprocate
But I'll exploit my feelings to cope if I can't find another way

I don't deserve your kindness
I don't deserve the way you treat me
I swore I'd never be like this, oh
Dream boy, can't you love me?
