How I Really Feel Sometimes

When did
You
Listen to me?

When did
You
Hear what I say?

I never saw
I never heard
I never felt
You with me.

I shouldn't have to ask
I shouldn't have to fight
For your attention

That's right,
Don't even try
Don't worry about me
Worry about yourself
So you can be the only one
Getting ahead in this shallow world

I don't need you
I won't want you
Unless you're really here

You don't know how I feel
And I never give up
Trying to let you know.
But I do let things go.
You never see.
You never try to.

Your excuses- worthless
Your reasons- selfish
Your defense?- "I can't help it"

Well,
I can't help it either.

You hear, not listen
You tend, not care
You give in, not sacrifice

Maybe I don't want
You
In my life.
