Green Eyes
© Alicia, Feb. 24, 2002

you'd never think i'm insecure
it's the small things that matter
I might not be easy to replace
but what if I don't stay

I don't expect you to know what betrays me
Please don't give away power over me
I'm fighting myself because I trust you
things change every moment

And what if you don't notice when I'm gone
time to move on
I always had green eyes, used to be blue
moments of meaning, nothing lasts

Would I want you to be happy without me?
If I gave myself up to you?
the earth is a lonely place
you might not have to choose

You might promise to love me forever
I don't want to live in your memory
watch while you go on with life
hide when you stop being lonely

I won't tell you I'm important
you have to think of me first
let me be the one untangled
maybe I was never really reigning queen

I deny myself what I need
but I try to hold you back too
it's best if I never was
your green eyed girl
