missing out

I once had a dream
That I would be the chosen one
But so far it seems
My anticipation's coming to a dead-end
People always say:
"A dream is a wish your heart makes"
Now I'm doubting myself
Am I doing the right thing?

I used to believe
I'm just as good as the others
But, from what I've seen
Is that looks is really what matters
I've fought myself all these years
To finally gain some confidence
Just to have it all torn down
By people not of the same blood

I thought this was a moment to remember
But now I wonder
Does it ever feel like you're missing out?

On the efforts I've made
On the games I've played
On the candle path I've lit with matches
So you would land here and stay
There is something precious in me you don't see right away
But you went for somebody else
Do you ever feel like
You're missing out on me?

I tried to be nice, I showed off my skills
Everything I could to impress you
You put on a smile, I thought it was true
That I was getting validation from you
But I let my negative thoughts get the best of me
(Get the best of me)
Thought it'd never occur, but eventually
I found myself in the worst scenarios

All I ever wanted was to be a part of your life
But now I wonder
Does it ever feel like you're missing out?

On the efforts I've made
On the games I've played
On the candle path I've lit with matches
So you would land here and stay
There is something precious in me you don't see right away
But you went for somebody else
Do you ever feel like
You're missing out on me?
Woah

Now I regret having even tried
I should have found out the reasons why
Compared to others, I'm so mediocre
I'm not that far off, but am I not "pretty"?
Or are they just lucky?
Because I'm not the one living out my own dreams

All the efforts I've made
All the games I've played
Or the candle path I've lit with matches
But you wouldn't land and stay
I valued you but you had other options
But do you ever stop to wonder
If you're missing out?
