please help me see
what is wrong with me
putting my under all this pressure
believing it will make me better
drowning in expectations and lists
stuck on the deadlines i've missed
my attempts are almost funny
i keep trying to help everybody
it hurts knowing i care more than you do
because you don't even care
that i can't help but care
you don't care
and you never will care
i care
but i wish i didn't
i'm so alone
always alone
never realized till now

i don't say hi
you never say bye
you wouldn't notice if i wasn't around

always here
but never really here
just enough to put me down

you don't care
i used to care if you did
i guess i still do now
heavy tears
paperweights for a paper heart
securing my spot in hell

holding my place
while my soul decays
and only i console myself
i don't know but this describes how i feel
every scenario is trouble
surrounded on both sides
not ready to defend myself
but expected to buck up and fight
your walls are semi-porous
only letting selective messages through
stonewalling me
so i can't really get through to you
patiently patient
waiting for time to take its toll
eventually your barriers
will have to erode
but still you block me off
your lies build a fence
i can only help you
if you choose to let me in
looking for an opening
but there are no signs
walking the perimeter of your consciousness
to pass the time
i am willing to listen
but i can't read your mind
tell me what you want
so i can make it right
if you bite your tongue
you're gaming for a fight
i am willing to listen
but first you need to try
to communicate
exactly what you need
to state your expectations
directly to me
i keep listening
but you fail to speak
don't you say i'm not trying
when you just keep ignoring
every sign and every attempt
so you can have "your" way
can't listen to you
when you think but you don't say
keep on pushing pushing pushing
and i will walk away
gave you my patience
you give me pain
