I asked a millions time before
My words, fell on deaf ears
I try to give the benefit of doubt
But this, has been for years

Broken promises, over again
Please don’t tell me more lies
Trying to cope with the day to day
All I want to know is, why?

Maybe I should forget all this
Perhaps it’s time I move on
But I wonder, did you notice
That all this time, I was gone

Imploding, in my very own thoughts
Since you never bother to listen
Holding back the pain and regret
My tear streaked face, aglisten

Now I’ve stopped asking, I give up
There’s no point in trying to find
Whatever is left of my barren heart
Remains secret, so surely, maligned
