In the Background

Do I frighten you with my masochistic rituals?
But baby can’t you see that it’s all just habitual?
And that I don’t mean to do every little thing that I do?
I’m just trying to find a way to get closer to you
But yet again I fail and I push you further from me
Is it a lost cause; are you never meant to be with me?

And all I need is just a little bit of help from you
A helping hand or hint about the next thing I should do
Cuz I just don’t think I can take this pain or this hunger
This heartache will kill me if it goes on any longer
Is this the way I am meant to spend the rest of my life?
Always being a friend but never a girlfriend or wife?

Every time I have a chance to pray or wish on a star
I wish that I can be with you forever where you are
But I know I’m too much of a mess for you to deal with
I’ll always think of you and me together as a myth
Because to you I will never be more than a friend
That’s how the story of our nonexistent love will end

So don’t try to be kind, because you are just being mean
I’ll just stay In the Background, as I’ve always been, unseen.
