You Don't Understand – May 1st 2009

I feel left out of everything
You say you know how I feel
You say but do you know
That even you make me feel like that too

But don’t worry because nobody understands
What its like to get your hopes up
And expect things from people who will only disappoint you

What its like to want your presence required by a friend
Who will just use you?
Who will walk with you the days their bored
And then leave you the minute they see alternative company

You say you know how it feels
But you ditch me, you ignore me, you hurt me too
And it burns holes in my heart when you do it
Because I think you understand me, but you don’t
You talk to me when you need entertainment and leave me when you don’t

This hurts
I want you to stop
You’re stepping all over my feelings
As if they were merely the pavement you’re walking on

This hurts
I want you to stop
You’re ignoring me
As if I’m merely the air you’re breathing through

This hurts
I want you to stop
I always have to chase you around
Like a disowned puppy, begging for your approval

This hurts
I want you to stop
I want you to be my friend

You used to be my friend
My confidant, my buddy, my go-to person
But now I can’t tell you anything
Because you don’t understand
