you look at me with that sad, sad smile
it makes my heart falter my stomach turn to bile
you don't need to say the words
just sit silently
let them pass unheard
i know what you are thinking
i'm like a ship that is sinking

pull me from beneath the wave
i'll show you the love you always crave
i'm sorry for my lack of affection
it's just a mere symptom of my disconnection

i forgot what it was to appreciate
now let me finally
*alleviate
