I Thought I Liked Him

It's no mystery why I fell into you

But part of me would always hesitate 

I always felt like I was an acquired taste

That only a few could appreciate

But that's not all it takes to make

A relationship work

Your mind may get confused

Your heart befuddled

But part of you always knew

The part that was whole and only told the truth

That there is so much more out there for you 

I never liked how you looked at women

Like pieces to a puzzle you couldn't solve

Collectibles to cover your lack of resolve

Assets to boost your self worth

Salves to soothe the burns of your last attempts at love

The real mystery is how I hid the truth

From myself for so long

You were always nice, but all wrong for me

You never made me laugh or sang me songs

You were like a prize I wanted to prove I'd won

I can't think of a single thing I liked about you

Except that you were the kind of person who might like me

That’s all it was

I wanted to crawl into you so I could see what you saw

But it was me who held it all.
