Silent and Hurt

Is it because my clothes aren't right
Or my wallet isn't up to size
Or is it me?
The girl inside?
Am I not good enough?
Do I hurt your pride?

You say you're my friend
But do you see me cry?

Its not enough
That I'm here for you
Only the coolest friends will do
I think you see me
But look right through

As long as I say the right thing
And look just exactly like you
Then I'll be "good enough" for now
And then tomorrow, someone new
Will wear a better shirt
And no one will notice the girl in the background
Silent and hurt
