missing out Lyrics

I once had a dream

That I would be the chosen one

But so far it seems

My anticipation's coming to a dead-end

People always say:

"A dream is a wish your heart makes"

Now I'm doubting myself

Am I doing the right thing?

I used to believe

I'm just as good as the others

But, from what I've seen

Is that looks is really what matters

I've fought myself all these years

To finally gain some confidence

Just to have it all torn down

By people not of the same blood

I thought this was a moment to remember

But now I wonder

Does it ever feel like you're missing out?

On the efforts I've made

On the games I've played

On the candle path I've lit with matches

So you would land here and stay

There is something precious in me you don't see right away

But you went for somebody else

Do you ever feel like

You're missing out on me?

I tried to be nice, I showed off my skills

Everything I could to impress you

You put on a smile, I thought it was true

That I was getting validation from you

But I let my negative thoughts get the best of me

(Get the best of me)

Thought it'd never occur, but eventually

I found myself in the worst scenarios

All I ever wanted was to be a part of your life

But now I wonder

Does it ever feel like you're missing out?

On the efforts I've made

On the games I've played

On the candle path I've lit with matches

So you would land here and stay

There is something precious in me you don't see right away

But you went for somebody else

Do you ever feel like

You're missing out on me?

Woah

Now I regret having even tried

I should have found out the reasons why

Compared to others, I'm so mediocre

I'm not that far off, but am I not "pretty"?

Or are they just lucky?

Because I'm not the one living out my own dreams

All the efforts I've made

All the games I've played

Or the candle path I've lit with matches

But you wouldn't land and stay

I valued you but you had other options

But do you ever stop to wonder

If you're missing out?
