Taken for granted
Nobody cares
But they pretend

I don’t know why you have to lie to me
Why you have to cry to me
Then turn your back
When I need you

Sure I want you happy
That’s most important to me
But it’s hard to make you smile
When I’m hiding from myself

You’ve got to hear me screaming
I guess I can hardly hear myself
Because my tears are echoing off the walls
Making them cave in

Trapping me within my fears
I’m lost here even though it’s such a small space
Confined so tight that I’m struggling to breathe
I’m waiting for a sign

And there’s your face
Appearing amongst the ruins of my dreams
Not taking any chances
I step back wary

But for once
It’s someone with just intentions
And I’m laughing
That’s all I wanted to do

small insignificant useless me
