I ask for your time
Yet I'm left all alone.
I long for those talks
But I'm scared of getting too close.
One day I will not need you always there
But right now I do
And you never seem to care.

My friends I can't stand to be around
I'm afraid I'll hurt them so.
My family I can't stand to see
I know all I do is let them down.
I long for the end of it all
The day that I can finally rest.
I hate getting to close to anyone.

I don't want to be around anyone
It hurts to see them hurting.
I can't stand to let you all down
And now all I want to do is change this.
I know I've got to do something about this.
I'm too scared to put down my defences
They are  slowly creeping higher.
