I Can't, You won't

by Amanda   Sep 13, 2004


You want me to tell you how I feel but I can't.
You want me to describe this feeling but I can't.
You want me to stop, but I can't.
You want me to feel, but I can't.
You want me to be the old me, but I can't.
I'm sorry that you had to become friends with me just before I changed like this.
If you give up, I'd understand, I really would.
I see what it takes out of you sometimes.
I felt you cry on my shoulder because you can't handle it.
You want me to stop, but I can't.
Just give up on me now please.
Because disappointing you is disappointing me.
I can see how frustrated you get.
I can see how you just want me to shake out of it.
I can see how you wonder what the hell is wrong with me.
You want me to stop, but I can't.
I can see that you can't deal with that.
I can see that you can't handle it.
You want to give up, do it please.
Give up on me so I can give up on myself.
You want to tell me to snap out of it, but you won't.
You want to tell me to get a hold of myself, but you won't.
You want to give up on me, but you won't.
You want to understand me, but you never will.
You want me to describe this, I just can't.
Take your life and subtract the hope.
Add a little pain, some rejection, some depression.
Add yelling, and screaming, and fighting.
Add a good friend who needs what you can't give.
Add a good friend that you're hurting.
Add guilt.
Take away love.
Take away companionship.
Add some fear, add some blood, take away the caring.
You're close but not quite there.
You can't be there without being here.
You want me to take you there, but I can't.
You want to tell me I'm stupid, but you won't.
I want to talk to you, but I can't seem to find the words.
You want a compassion that I don't have.
You want a motivation that I don't posses.
You want me to stop, but I can't.
I want, but you won't.
You want, but I can't.
You want, but you won't.
I want, but I can't.
