It's a shame you never loved me,
It's not your loss, it's all mine.
Who told them off,
then hugged them tight.
Who made them laugh,
with tales of plight.
And who loved their every flaw.
It's a shame you were my only one,
Yet I was one of many.
Because I always found out how
When you went away
You took the others,
But never me,
Or my brothers,
And it's bothering me now.
I have nothing to remind me,
'Cept a picture I procured.
Because you never really knew me.
Photos that I sent
You never saw,
Never opened,
Were found in a drawer.
And so that's my family.
It's a shame you never loved me,
Because I'm worth it, don't you know.
