by Ocean
Am I lazy
For waiting to be happy?
Am I a fool
For waiting to be loved?
I feel like I should take the first step
But I don’t know the direction.
I need someone to give me an inch
So I can start to walk my miles.
–
Flirting is easy, dating is a waste of time.
–
I know
That I cannot satisfy everyone
But every now and then
I find pleasure in trying.
Not all of them will be happy
But if I get a single smile
I can tell myself
That it was worth it.
–
Some bad habits are not that bad after all.
–
No reason to lose tears over lost time.
–
I could have come so far already
But I wasted my fuel
Driving in circles.
I missed out
On so many beautiful miles
Because I waited for someone
To text back.
I don’t ask for much
But show me the tiniest bit of effort
And I will give you everything I have.
