Love's Labors Lost (short version)

A revisiting of the Eponine section in the previous.

Getting my hopes up

Believing that

Someday

You'll realize I'm the one

Who deserves you

Doing all I can

Giving everything

All in vain

 

Telling myself to forget you

Trying to reason with my stubborn heart

Wanting only the best for you

(Is it me?)

 

Aching a little more

Each time you say her name

Wondering if you're happy

 

For both our sakes

I hope you are

 

For both our saks

I pray you're not
