Foolish Games

Why do we always want what we can't have and dispose of what we can.
Why do we throw away the good things in life in favor of disfunction.

Girls don't want nice guys.
and guys don't want nice girls.
We want the drama, the instability and the insecurities.
because if we actually wanted the nice guy we would have them.
If guys actually wanted the good girl.
well we'd have a few less... I won't even go there.

Why do we thrive off of the stupid vibes.
is it the thrill of the chase that makes us so blind to reality.
why are we so willing to give everything that we have
every time there is a sliver of hope.
even though we know that it's not actually going to get us anywhere.
why do we fool ourselves.

why do we shut ourselves out from the genuine people around us.
why do we ignore their efforts
acts of kindness that have no hidden meaning.
we cannot just accept a gift for what it is anymore.
or a favor for the sake of helping someone out.

why do we throw away companionship and compatibility,
holding hands, silly moments, someone to turn to, quiet friday nights,
random dates, blaring cheesy music, falling asleep together.
for a good ... well you know.

Why do we let go of the good ones.
for a chance at right now.
why do we lead eachother on.
only to end things with a heart-wrenching blow off.

because nice isn't what we actually want.
if we did we wouldn't hurt eachother.
we wouldn't play games.
there would be no guessing.
waiting, hoping, anticipating.
there would be no losers.
in this foolish game.
