She was smartsmartsmart,
You couldn't deny that
No matter how you tried.
He was
Strongstrongstrong
And nobody wanted
To deny that
She was bravebravebrave
And he was impulsiveimpulsiveimpulsive
She always tried to deny
That she was just as good as he was
But it would never work
Even if she convinced herself
That she was weak and stupid.
She would never admit it
But she was intimidated by him
And that's hardly fair
Since she's a wonderful individual
But no one sees
Until it's too late
Not even he
S a w what was happening
They d I d n' t
See her falling to pieces
And when he saw
It was too late
There was nothing
To d o for her
She was too far gone
They could never find her again
The smart girl who thought that
She wasn't worthy
And it was oh so hard
Really, she never got over it
Even though she knew
The whole time
That she was
Worthyworthyworthy
Of him
Not that she would believe it
He told her
But she didn't get it
Because she was
Stubbornstubbornstubborn
And she couldn't believe
She could ever be as g o o d as him
They all told her
But in the end
It's up to the
Person
She didn't believe them
She starved herself
She was too smart for that
But when someone's in love
They may not be r a t I o n a l
And that happened to her
They didn't believe that she
Out of everyone
Would do that.
But she did
Why did she?
Because she could never
Find that self-esteem
That everyone needs when dating a hero
Even if they are a hero.
Even if they are a hero…
