invisible me - hey there

started working on a new song last night. it's an oft repeated topic in my life but i'm writing about it in a new way this time. it's not completed but i've got most of it done, including the melody and the chords. it will probably need a few re-writes, and it still needs a second verse, but here's what i have so far:
*****UPDATE*****
i've added a second verse but i still need to add some more. i've also changed one of the lines

hey there

walter and willie
made me feel so silly
when i lived in philly
thought they were so fine

they were cute and funny
smiled sweet like honey
eyes were bright and sunny
they just seemed to shine

tried to get their attention
threw a smile their direction
they wanted no connection
didn't have enough perfection

my soul left so depleted
my heart again retreated
same old story repeated
can't this nightmare be defeated

hey there willie bryce
just thought you seemed so nice
but you won't even look at me twice

hey there walter byrne
when will i ever learn
that your head i'll just never turn

spending all my money
working to look twenty
and it just ain't funny
how i have to fight

so i keep on trying
but they just ain't buying
they just leave me crying
all alone at night

tried to get their attention
threw a smile their direction
they wanted no connection
didn't have enough perfection

my soul left so depleted
my heart again retreated
same old story repeated
can't this nightmare be defeated

hey there willie bryce
just thought you seemed so nice
but you won't even look at me twice

hey there walter byrne
when will i ever learn
that your head i'll just never turn

****disclaimer - i do not actually know a willie bryce or a walter byrne, so if you happen to know anyone by either of those names it is simply a coincidence****

In reading your blogs, it is obvious that your egocentrism is like a huge translucent bubble that surrounds you. You are invisible to others because you are so very self-absorbed and they don't see any room for anyone else in your life but you so why bother. Too bad because you were not always this way as evidenced by the comments of anon and your admission that people have been attracted to you in the past.

you may be right.

but i have not forced you to read this so why would you say something so hateful?
