Everyone tells me that i shouldn’t think of you: “she’s not worth your time.” but i try to care, yes i try to care; but you just couldn’t give a damn, you’ve found it easy to hide in your stance, to you hide in your mood and don’t let me in. But i always leave myself open to you; i’ll take your knives, i’ll take your pain, i’ll take anything that you’ll give to me; but you won’t give to me, you’ll never expose, and you hide your pain, knowing the answers are all the same, and i see you standing and i know how it hurts; i want to reveal, but you’ll never get close, everyone tells me that i shouldn’t think of you; they say you’re wasted time,
Hunting and hoping and asking your friends, finds you alone ‘cause they don’t think of you. they say you’ve a problem, that i shouldn’t care, but that can’t cure my mind, i was in love with you, now i don't know; i never control what i don’t understand, you bring up the others, i tell you it’s you, but you’ll never let it down, i think about you and try not to care; but the image it lingers, the feeling’s still there, so i try to care, yes i try to care, but you work hard to block and hide, everyone wonders why i think of you; they say you waste my time.
