The Other Girl
I’m staring at a picture
 It’s of me and you
 But it’s really missing a person
 One more plus us two
 
 It’s missing the other girl
 The one you had on the side
 The one you felt was great
 Along for life’s ride
 
 All along I thought it was me
 Not giving you enough attention
 But you got enough and more
 You became pretentious
 
 I thought your new self-esteem
 Was because you were happy with us
 Really, you liked that other girl
 She made your world oblivious
 
 I figured it out after we slowed
 Our relationship became obsolete
 When you didn’t want to talk
 I realized we weren’t complete
 
 You tried to keep her from me
 I tried to look the other way 
 Our trying was useless
 When all we did was delay
 
 I chose to end it like I did
 You shouldn’t have been so surprised
 She became your one and only
 Right before our eyes
 
 For all the times you thought
 That she was the better person
 You should’ve been talking straight
 Instead of making our love worsen
