Its never easy being ignored
When youre worshipped and adored
Attention starved, inflatable
An ego that is insatiable
Youve always been so superior
Avoid eye contect with the mirror
I still admire your toned exterior
I need somebody to hate
I need someone that I can imitate
The attention that I crave
Its self-esteem that I can almost save
