tears fall down to the river
no ripple do they leave behind
as i think of my thoughts i shiver
but others don't seem to mind
i walk away, want to be alone
they call to me to come to them
cant they tell my mood from my tone?
i walk back to them and am once again
ignored, taken for granted, i'm just a coat rack
can you hold this? can you do that?
yet when i help them, i'm only reminded of what i lack
walk all over me; i feel like a doormat
i'm just a piece of scenery
just ask me to help you, i don't care
you don't have to say 'thank you' to me
i wonder if you even know that i'm there?
yet it's all my fault if you do wrong
i didn't help you get it right
when you should have done it all along
i say okay; i don't want to fight
i give you everything, i'd give you anything
i'm quite willing to share
do you know how much joy gratitude can bring?
i'm not sure you're quite aware
that i have feelings,
i'm a person too
i need help, i need guidance
i have problems just like you
yet i do what you ask; i feel like a dunce
i'd help the person i most despise
i cant be that bad of a person, can i?
i'm tired of these falsities, tired of these lies
some days i just want to die
i've loved many, none have loved me
instead they love the one person i cannot hate
they go for the beauty, things they can see
and when they come back to me,
i'm afraid it's too late
i don't love them anymore, i know them more now
they care more for things they can touch
i didn't really love them anyhow
when it comes to rejection, i get too much
if i died, would you only be aware
when you need somebody to hold your books
that person isn't there?
when people see me, i just get strange looks
maybe it's better not to be seen
maybe its safer to hide behind my mask
when i say this, i don't try to be mean
but how much do you care for me, this i ask
let me ask you how much you pay attention
let me say this, i won't inconvenience you
you will remember the first question by the time that
i'm done
it's just something to see if care you really do
what day was i born, what is my sign?
i just settle for the month i was born
what words do i use, what sayings are mine?
who is the boy i currently like?
what is my middle name, what is my favorite candy?
am i straight, bi or am i a dike?
if you answer these things, i'll be fine and dandy
i'll guess i was wrong, i guess you do care
i'm sorry i took out my feelings on you
but if you don't, i want to make you aware
value your friends, this you should do
