Getting Over It

I hear them talk about you
Joining into the banter to survey
What they gossip about you
And, consequently, me
That's what your infamous for
Your undying obsession with a guilt-ridden girl
Who has never loved you
Not like you claim you do her
She sympathizes with you and your hurt
Because she remembers the feeling
Hazy yet burned on her mind
Ever since it happened long ago
She sees you and knows how to make you tick
I mention my boyfriend
You cry, and they laugh
Can you not see the absurdity of it?
It's time, I think, to man-up
She's a soft soul who cares about opinion, emotion, and life
It's time to man-up
Realize what will never happen and say
"Then I'll be happy anyway"
Because sometimes the bravest option is to give up
She's give up, and she's strong as steel
Her past is similar to yours
And I think if I can keep going, then you should be just fine
The only way you'll convince anyone that you deserve her
Is by getting over her
My formula is a simple one
She falls for boys who don't fall for her
And she'll fall hard if you drive her away
It's apparent to me that you've completely messed that one up
She knows how you think and feel
She knows it, and she thinks it's pathetic
How could you fall for a girl like me
Who's so lonely and weak
And say I'm the best thing in the world?
When she's so clearly not?
When she's so clearly despicable?
Yet still better than you
