What You're Missing

I never would have loved you with my fingers crossed and held behind my back
Or with my eyes shut, or with one foot out and nervous bitten lips.
I Wouldn't love you through a filter like a glossy magazine
or from a distance through the prison glass of how I think you seem
i would have loved you like a flowing stream.
No hard feelings, I just thought you should know what you're missing

I never would have loved you like a secret or a missing puzzle piece
I would have loved you like a partner in world domination schemes
i wouldn't love you like a question that's been keeping me up nights,
I wouldn't love you like a shelter from the chaos of my live
I would have loved you like a delightful surprise.
But no hard feelings, I just thought you should know what you're missing.

It doesn't bother me that you don't want what I've been giving
Although it baffles me, I find it kind of interesting.
From time to time, I might feel sorry for you
and what you're missing.

I never would have loved you like a back up plan to following my dreams
or a replacement for self-esteem, or fear prevention scheme
I wouldn't love you like a failsafe trying to force a guarantee
I would have loved you, all in, bluffing, with a hand of two's and threes
I would have loved you like the realest thing.

I never would have loved you like as an other half, like I was incomplete.
I would have loved you like a fellow passenger, sailing seas
I wouldnt love you like an accessory that makes me look real sweet
I would have loved you like a present, in the present, like a sea
I would have loved you like the others will not love you.
No hard feelings, I just thought you should know what you're missing.
