If some day people notice me for more than my looks

If some day someone, cares more bout’ me than my anxiety

If one day I become somebody

Don’t say that you knew me…

If I ever become successful

Don’t come sayin’ we were friends

Ya know I’m done pretending

Oh, it never really ends

I never feel good enough but if someday I am good enough, please don’t come knocking at my door

Cuz’ I am done, so very done, and I’m not wasting my time on ya who called me a dork!

Ya jerks

Everyone wanna use me

Nobody really likes me

Whenever they talk to me, it’s always “My hair looks good, ya think?”

And they don’t even care what I think, no they never really did

I’m not even on their level in their minds

So if someday ya realize…

If some day people notice me for more than my looks

If some day someone, cares more 'bout me than my anxiety

If one day I become somebody

Don’t say that you knew me…
