Despite how it may seem
I do care what you say I notice each time That you look away When you answer my questions With a glance at the floor Mumble a few words Then say nothing more Despite how it may seem I do care what you think When it seems that I’ve hurt you My heart starts to sink When I watch your smile fade And realize I’ve messed up again How can you forgive me With how hard this has been? Despite how it may seem I do care how you feel In a way that I wish I could show you that's real When you almost can’t stand To sit by anymore When you chuckle politely Yet stare at the door Despite how it may seem I do immensely, insanely, irrevocably care And I hope that you know that Though I know it’s not fair When you glance my direction It feels like we’re so far away From where we both want to be But there's too much we can't say

breathe
slow in and out you close your eyes the tears run down breathe slow you feel them burn your cheeks are numb you wait your turn breathe deep you hear it now the lungs fill up you don’t know how breathe deep it screams inside you can’t give in you try to hide breathe in you clench your fist your face turns red you start your list breathe in you wish they’d leave so they won’t see what’s up your sleeve breathe run you can’t stay here for if they come they’ll smell your fear breathe run and don’t look back for if you stay you know you’ll crack I wish I could tell you
I wish you could see That there is much more to this than just me A longing, a sadness, A weakness, a life A secret within me A past filled with strife I wish I could tell you I wish you could know Though I fear these are feelings I can’t ever show Perhaps if we’d met then Had been here before Perhaps if you’d known me You’d see so much more A war that’s within me A burning, I feel To me in this moment Is so very real That sparkle, that shimmer That gleam in your eye The heartbreak I suffer Each time I stand by When I very much want To say so much more But I’m afraid that I’ve been Down this road before A pain and a torment That’s too much to bear To earn my redemption I can’t return there Yet in this one moment As you smile at me It’s so hard to let go of The things you can’t see |
