Just because you can’t see Just because you don’t understand Doesn’t mean it will go away Doesn’t mean I will go away You said what you had to And made absolutely no sense Obviously I did something Thanks for telling me… It doesn’t matter what you think Because I care And I won’t stop caring No matter what you do… No matter what you say Because I am me… And you… are you I won’t say anything You’re right about that I don’t want to fight with you But you better believe I’d stand up for myself So if it makes you happy I won’t think about you ever again But that doesn’t mean I won’t care When that day comes When you die and you’re wherever you are And no one comes to your funeral But your family… And they aren’t crying They’ve got a smile on my face Don’t blame me… But what do I know I’m just another stupid kid That got too much involved And got hurt But never went away That’s right I don’t know anything And I hurt people just because it makes me feel good I assume I bitch I complain But you know I’m right I’m not always right… sure I hate to admit it… But when it comes to things like this… You see where I’m going Maybe it doesn’t make a difference to you But it does to me If you never say anything to me That’ll be okay… Because I am me And you are you Remember? I don’t write with my eyes I write with my heart See with your heart And not with your eyes FOR ONCE GOD DAMNIT Swallow whatever you’ve got stuck in your throat Loose your head for just a minute and open your heart I’m not asking you to let me inside… anymore Not asking you to trust me Just asking you to accept… the fact that I careWhy?
