Sometimes I neglect the people I love And who are good to me and never let me down Because I’m caught up on the people who failed me Why do we all but lose ourselves over people like that If the energy I put into trying to help Someone who won’t even help themselves Was spent on the people that deserve it I would be person of the year every year When there’s nothing left to talk about When you’ve said the same thing over and over And you aren’t getting anywhere because no one is listening What do you do? It’s like talking to a wall Asking it to move Don’t remember when the wall went up But it’s there and there’s no way around it What do you do Try to climb over it break it down Year maybe for a while until you realize you’re getting no where Then you do the inevitable, walk away
