I don't have a bad attitude
I am open and accepting
Listen to me

You stop talking to me
Because I don't
Believe in what you do

I listen to you
I accept your beliefs
So reciprocate

There's no reason for you
to stop being my friend
because of a simple belief

You are a hypocrite
You preach forgiveness and acceptance
Yet you won't even speak to me

How right of you
How correct of you
To ignore me

How great of you
How nice of you
To leave me

I don't believe
in your belief
but don't hate me.

Don't leave me behind
Because you can't
handle my beliefs

It's called
acceptance
and love.

Our friendship
seemed to break
when we spoke of religion.

What happened?
Is it so bad
that I don't believe?

You leave me behind
You leave me alone
You can't do that

I would never
leave you alone
or leave you behind

Just because we
don't believe together
doesn't mean we can't be together.

I'm disappointed
I thought it wouldn't matter
Here of all places

A place of acceptance
is what I was told
but it seems not

If I don't believe
what you believe
I guess it wasn't meant to be.
