I don't get it, I just don't get it
Am I false?
Do I hide behind a facade?
What do you see?
What do you think?
Of me, of him, of her?
Nerves of steel I do not have
Suave speech evades me time to time
Doubt, and criticism scare me
But still I try to give myself to you
wholeheartedly, openly, freely, loyally
At times I revert to the mute I once was
What do you not like?
Why do you not see that all I want is to be a friend
Once another is found, you shut me out,
you all shut me out, without cause or reason
Leaving me, avoiding me
Why? What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with loving everyone,
giving everyone a chance,
the benefit of a doubt.
I just don't get it.
