(Speech Intro)
When you have unrequited love, it can make you more and more desperate
To the point where it’s all you can think about
You may blame yourself, you may think this is all because of you
And how you will never compare to his true love
You start thinking that he’s lying when he says he doesn’t like you in that way
You might even dress up for him
You dream about him
You fantasise what kind of life you will have with him
And in his mind it’s a whole other story
It may break you down to a lower point than usual
And it’s okay to have these feelings
But it’s not okay to trap them
And eventually, the saddest part will come
Which is to move on
(Move on, move on, move on)

Am I not good enough for you?
Is there something wrong with me?
You say, "Don’t cry, I know you’re mine"
Baby, don’t you lie to me

Am I just not what you want?
Am I just not what you need?
Is there someone who has your heart
That keeps you gone away from me?
Is she prettier than me?
Is her skin softer than mine?
Can she give you what I can’t?
The things I cry for every night?

Is it something in how she moves
When you’re undressed inside her house?
Does she smile the way I do
When she has you in her mouth?

Do you not love me like you did
When you told me that it’s fine?
That I’ve been hurt, cause you’ve been too?
And that kind of pain, you don’t mind?

I think about you every day
'Cause I love you more than I thought I could
And now that you’re gone, I wanna die
'Cause I don’t hate you like I know I should

Was I not good enough for you?
Was there something wrong with me?
I just cry by myself at night
But you’ll never know and you’ll never see

(Move on)
