Dear Jessie

Dear Jessie, I see you cry
Lusting over some other guy
Dear Jessie, what can I say
To make my feelings go away?
Is there something I can do
Or is there someone I can be
To make you notice me?

You know I’m not all that special
Just too sentimental
Keeping you too close to my heart
If I had something to offer
Would you even bother
Or should I have been him from the start?
But, would I still be myself
If I was somebody else?

Dear Jessie, I’d take you away
From all your troubles to a brighter day
If I had the chance to say how I feel
Could I truly tell you what I mean?
I’m not the best with words, I know
It’s one of many things that pull me down
From letting my feelings show, you know

You know I’m not all that special
Just too sentimental
Keeping you too close to my heart
If I had something to offer
Would you even bother
Or should I have been him from the start?
But would you love me for me
If there was someone else I'd rather be?

Taking too much time
To say where I'm wrong
Where I'm falling behind
I wanna know what’s there to do
To bring my heart closer to you

Is it just wishful thinking
If I say that winning you
Over could make everything fine?
Or are you just an excuse
A special someone to lose
So that I continue telling myself

That I’m not all that special
Just too sentimental
Keeping you too close to my heart
If I had something to offer
Would you even bother
Or should I have been him from the start?
But would you love me for me
If there was someone else I'd rather be?
Would I still be myself, if I was somebody else?
