Can’t Keep Your Attention

Treat me like an option

One moment I got your attention the next I don't

X-ray vision on knowing how it will end

Independent but acting like I am dependent on your attention

Can’t get rid of you if I try

    Remember, you’re royalty. If they don’t treat you as such, then keep walking and shining as you move on. I know that’s easier said than done.
