Just Because

Just because I don’t respond
doesn’t mean I didn’t hear
I know your tricks by now
nothing is as it appears
Just because I don’t gossip
doesn’t mean I don’t know
I know you’re trying to rile me
so I don’t let anything show
Just because I don’t laugh
doesn’t mean I don’t understand
I’m better then that
I don’t need to go underhand
Just because I don’t retaliate
doesn’t mean it’s okay
you’ll get what’s coming to you
just may not be today
Just because I don’t correct you
doesn’t mean I think you’re right
I’m not here for my ego,
and at the end I don’t want a fight
Just because I keep to myself
doesn’t mean I’m not there
I prefer not to be fake
and I don’t like the stares
Just because I play naive
doesn’t mean I’m a child
but it keeps you from asking
on nights you want to get wild
Just because I’ve never mentioned it
doesn’t mean it’s never been done
I haven’t shown you all of me
I know how to have fun
Just because I don’t have friends
doesn’t mean I’m not nice
seeing the real in people
has always been my biggest vice
Just because I’m not attached to my phone
doesn’t mean I’m out of touch
I need to take breaks for my sanity
sometime the fakeness is just to much
Just because I don’t yell
doesn’t mean that I’m weak
I choose my battles
I have more courage then you think
Just because I don’t participate
doesn’t mean I’m dumb
I’ve played these games before
to your stupidity I prefer to be numb
Just because you assume something
doesn’t mean it’s true
I let you live in that fantasy for a reason
it shows me the real you
once the real colors come out
nothing will ever be as it was
I don’t act the way I do
Just because...
