Miserable At Best
“Let’s not pretend like you’re alone tonight, I know he’s there
And you’re probably hanging out and making eyes while across the room, he stares
I’ll bet whe gets the nerve to walk the floor and ask my girl to dance. She’ll say ‘yes’.”

That song hits deep—it captures the ache of loving someone who’s slipping away, of standing on the sidelines while your heart is breaking and you’re trying to hold it all together. There’s a raw honesty in those lyrics, like it’s saying the things we usually keep buried under pride or silence.
If this is resonating with what you’re feeling right now, just know—it's okay to grieve love that’s complicated or one-sided. It's okay to miss someone and still feel invisible. That kind of pain can feel isolating, but you’re not the only one who's ever stood in that space, quietly hurting, hoping to be chosen.
Take your time with these feelings. Let yourself sit with them, write through them, cry if you need to. Healing doesn’t come from pretending everything’s fine—it starts when you admit your heart is heavy, and you deserve more than being someone's second thought.
And even if it doesn't feel like it right now: this hurt won’t last forever. One day, someone will look at you like you're the only person in the room—and they won’t need to be convinced to choose you.
