You ask me how I feel
You say something sweet
You flirt
You say I should smile more
You say I'm sarcastic
You say I'm bitter
But do you remember shooting me down when I tried?
So I cannot tell you
Because you don't listen
I cannot show you
Because you'll run away
I cannot love you
Because you will never feel the same
I cannot smile
Because you'll make me cry
I cannot tell you something real
Because you'll laugh
I cannot be happy
Because you've hurt me too much
I cannot, should not let you in
But my heart won't let you stay out
So here I am broken again
Because I tried once more
And once more you shot me down
