You never support the ideas that I have
We're two different people, I'm not saying it's bad
Maybe we just aren't as good a match as we believed
You hide behind your ego, I wear my heart on my sleeve

An overload of empathy
Now I think it's apathy
Regardless of the outcome I can honestly say
I'm happy that things have turned out this way

I don't want sympathy, I just want to be understood.
I want someone to look into my eyes and send me chills,
because I can feel with every cell in my body that they understand me... understand the simple commonality of human experiences,
both positive and negative,
and how your vulnerabilities can shine through in moments that don't  
seem to make sense to you at the time,
but take a step back and take inventory of your traumatic timeline
it is so telling of your definition...Why you are how you are.
Acceptance is the key, not commonality, not normality, not anything other than a realization of the varying human form.

You wish to have your cake and eat it too
If it were up to me I would be with you
Spend my nights not out at the bars
But under your covers with you in my arms
You like to know of everything I do
That'd be fine with me if it were fine with you
But your way of thinking is "don't ask, don't tell"
You act as if I haven't treated you well
I deserve to be treated with much more respect
I give it to you, you think you're perfect
Out of you and I, who's the one who can't trust?
You can't tell the difference between love and lust

You're filled with inconsistency
But you can always count on me
With you I have to walk on egg shells
One day to the next, I can never tell
If you'll be like this tomorrow
If you'll be the cause of my sorrow
Or if you'll want to be the source
The strong and faithful force
Create a loving course
But you feel no remorse
You give me your shoulder
You give me your hand
Then you turn colder
And say I don't understand
How am I to grasp your intentions
When I have to fight just to keep your attention
And you failed to mention
That you were on the fence when
You decided to pick up and go
Barely a warning, it goes to show
I never cross your mind unless
You feel alone and in distress
You're never there when I'm a mess
But always to take off my dress
I know that it's not just the ***
But your indecisive notions are a stress
I've said it before and I'll say it again
Your lack of compassion's the means to an end

It might make you angry that I didn't kiss you
A lesson to be learned, I'm not here to please you
You can't always get what you want all the time
Opportunity came and went, you should note the signs
I'm sure my refusal instilled some resentment
But taking control gave me such contentment
You can't always get what you want all the time
I'm no longer yours and you've never been mine

I left the door cracked for you
You never had my back, did you?
I didn't leave it open for you to come and go as you please
But rather so we'd know we weren't here to deceive
I guess you took advantage, I guess I didn't see
That behind that cracked door was another just like me
Your intention was to get me, and to get me to believe
That it was all the real thing and it was only me
I have to close the door, turn the lock and take your key
I wish it wasn't so, it was me who can't believe
I wish that I could slam the door and exit angrily
But I am not like you and wish you were more like me
I know inside a part of me wants to hide a key
In case you're in the area and decide that you are free
I don't know what I'm thinking, you've done these wrongs to me
You made me feel important, but you have a set of keys

Home.
The settling feeling that even in the midst of a blizzard it is possible to be  centered, safe and satisfied.
You don't always need a fire to feel warm.
A mutual spark which ignites with the slightest glance.
I can see into your soul, and it makes me feel whole.
Let's keep things honest and leave the door slightly cracked,
so we know we're both here because we want to be.
If you want to leave, there's nothing stopping you.
But you stay. That's when you know everything is okay.
