I go away
I come back
So much has changed
But not enough
You still feel the same

I’m nothing
And it doesn’t matter to you
I’d give you it all
I’d give my life up for you
But you don’t say a word
And I know it means
Go away again

I try to change
Over and over again
I try to be
Just the same
But I remember

I’m nothing
And it doesn’t matter to you
I’d give you it all
I’d give my life up for you
But you don’t say a word
And I know it means
Go away again

I would be myself
I would ask for help
But it wouldn’t change
You’d start over
You’d hate me again

I’m nothing
And it doesn’t matter to you
I’d give you it all
I’d give my life up for you
But you don’t say a word
And I know it means
Go away again

And I always say
It would be good to get away
But I don’t know
If I would stay
Or maybe I’d come back again

I’m nothing
And it doesn’t matter to you
I’d give you it all
I’d give my life up for you
But you don’t say a word
And I know it means
Stay away.

And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

I think the first 12 lines said it all...I've met lots of women like this...sometimes they don't even have to tell me to go away...I'm getting better at figuring out the ones that are emotionally unavailable and I just go away on my own...James

It's very hard to let go sometimes... and you've written this emotion so very well..

It's hard to remember that sometimes.. saying goodbye and walking away is actually a positive thing.. sometimes we simply have to move on and chalk it up to an experience that helped us grow.

Very good job with this, captured my emotional heart..

Rosie, this is very sad to me. It would hurt
to love and need someone this much and to
not have the love returned.

Best wishes to you.  
Hugs,
Ethel
