Unseen
Those girls
 they're all the same
 they walk in with Ben
 they walk out with Kevin.
 
 They breakup on night
 make up the other.
 They kiss and fight
 and play the damn victims.
 
 How high are they going to get
 before they come crashing down?
 How big of a head they have
 if they're head's in the clouds.
 
 She's one of them
 with her perky smile
 trying to fake innocence.
 He sees her, walking by
 and he thinks she's it.
 He doesn't know she's just using him
 to make her Caleb jealous.
 She's no different than her friend
 they're both obnoxiously the same.
 
 But he doesn't see me.
 He just thinks I'm different.
 Because I don't party every night,
 and I don't drink the beer.
 Because I've never had a boyfriend
 and she's had fifty a year.
 
 She tells him how she loves him
 and he's so naive
 how he says it back.
 She wrappes him around her little finger
 and Caleb's back in the picture.
 He sees her kissing the other guy,
 saying what he did wrong.
 How could she have cheated,
 if they were going so strong.
 
 Oh, sure he's heartbroken
 he's the one loosing
 while the rest of the world's winning.
 I can't blame him,
 she had him in the palm of her hands
 she played the pieces right
 and he held on tight.
 
 Caleb takes her back
 and he wants to beat him up.
 And he thinks he's been smart,
 he thinks how could a guy like him
 have been so dim.
 
 And I watch all this going on
 from the bleachers in the field
 he's taking her hands
 and explaining how he feels.
 She backs off, faking sadness
 says she's sorry, the game has been a madness.
 
 I sit watching
 knowing deep in me
 that I was right all along.
 That I am different
 I'm not the prettiest
 but I know myself
 and what I want
 and I would never do that to him.
 I sit waiting
 because I know what will happen
 he'll come back to me saying,
 what an awful friend he's been
 how he should've listen.
 I say I'm sorry
 how hard it must have been
 that I'm glad he's figured it out
 and sorry he didn't win.
 
 Now we're not together
 because he's missed his chance
 and as he sees me walking
 holding Vince's hand
 he thinks what a fool he's been
 by letting different be unseen.
