When I'm happy He's always there But when I'm sad He goes away somewhere
When I speak in a joyous way He will listen and talk all day
But when I speak about my sadness He shuts off, driving me to madness
When I try to explain how this hurts me He even further ignores me
Then when I cry about this pain He steps back even further away
He might show up some time late after With his excuses and attempts at laughter But I won't laugh, or even smile Because this pain lasts such a long while
I will just try to say How he hurt me by running away But he won't listen, as he does it again Running away from my emotion
So to him, I plea and plea Just to be treated respectfully Just to be treated like he values me Just to be treated like my feelings matter Just to be treated with empathy, not laughter
For one who laughs at others' pain Uses others' suffering to their own gain
And all the mean boys who makes girls weep Are mirror reflections of him and how he treats me
