Do I not learn at all?
All these disappointments that keep flocking in
I still continue to expect more from you
Do I not learn at all?

I keep trying to mend us
You try just as hard to mess up
You drop the ball and everything shutters
This should be like tennis, you give and receive
But in this game, I keep giving and not receiving
You receive and hardly ever give

How long will this keep going on
I am dying inside
My heart is slowly getting hypertrophied
All these chances that I keep giving you, they exhaust my muscles each time you slip away
It's like I am suffocating with disappointment
I keep hoping you would come back to your senses
I can barely breathe
And you can barely keep a promise

Tell me that you don't want this and I will let you be
Tell me you don't want this
I will respect your decision
If your heart is not in it, don't try to fake what you don't feel.
