They never loved me
They only loved the way I loved them
They never wanted me
Just wanted me to want them
They didn't care about me
Only about how I could benefit them
They never saw me
They saw the way I looked at them
They never heard me
They only heard enough to make them mad
They made me the center of their universe
Until someone better came along
Someone who gave them more
More of whatever they needed in that moment
They said they'd never do something that they didn't want to do
Even if it would help their partner in some way
They said they hated being selfish
(Or hated being called selfish)
But they didn't know how to change
They  didn't know how to care
And all I ever wanted from them
Was to give a fuck about me
Even half as much as I did for them
I didn't want material things
I didn't want empty words
I didn't even need affection
I just wanted her to care
And they never did
