George Monastiriakos Unrequited Love
[Verse 1]
I love you, and I know you'll grow
Why do I have to be the friend who always told you so
It's not my first rodeo, I've been around the world before
And everybody's searching for a unicorn
Nothing's set in stone, what you settling for
In relationships ‘cause you're afraid to be alone
Wise beyond my years, or not wise at all
For years I refused to be a brick in the wall
But a wave's always destined to crash where the shore is
How'd you forget you're a drop in the ocean
Might be unique, but you're not that important
Social media keeps feeding you poison
Everything I've said will come to be just like a prophecy
Success is imminent, even trademarked my philosophy
Done my first year of law school, I'm in recovery
Forget the Civil Code, this is album mode, so don't bother me
Still singing songs for everyone who did me wrong
Unrequited love, but you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
People open up about suicide and such
That's part of being the person people trust
Sudden sadness, a right of passage, it's summer madness
Contradiction like happy marriage, go ask your parents
Depression is a crisis of connection
The price you pay for your selfish misdirection
Center your attention, you're neglecting all your blessings
Why worship your possessions, when your friendships are more precious
Drown your sorrows in drugs when all you needed was love
I wish I was there to give you a hug
Feeling empty, it's a trap, listen to the simple fact
Might love things but things'll never love you back
Self-absorbed, feeling sad, stay away from Instagram
Even most people can't love you like you think they can
[Verse 2]
As you grow older, the way that you love grows too
I could tell you, but it's easier to show you
Find somebody who could love you like your parents do
Actions speak louder than any words that I'm telling you
Your mind has voids to fill, your heart remains golden, still
And your eyes say what your mouth never will
Still singing songs for everyone who did me wrong
Unrequited love, but you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Good hearted, but I've gotta love you from a distance
Catch you when you're slipping, I'm comfortable with my feelings
Old timers tell me I should think about a wife and kids
And settle for a girl who's half the woman that my mother is
Love and support, so you never walk alone
The illusion of control, gotta let it go
‘Cause you don't know love if you think love is when it hurts
Love's when you love without wanting something in return
Still singing songs for everyone who did me wrong
Unrequited love, but you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
All that remains, beauty and the pain
And pressure from being the last man with my last name
Never followed, but I failed, persevered, I prevailed
Blazed my own f..cking trail, the alpha male's alpha male
Kids still acting like they're kings in my city, but they don't know me
I'm your big homie's big homie
F..ck the small talk, I'd rather talk about what's profound
So you see through me like an ultrasound
Still singing songs for everyone who did me wrong
Unrequited love, but you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Still singing songs for everyone who did me wrong
Unrequited love, but you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
