You said you were sorry,
For what I had to go through.
I just smiled and nodded.
Because really,
You have no idea.
No idea what it's like
To deal with this.
If you knew you wouldn't be sorry.
You would be silent.
And say nothing.
But you have no idea.
You said you understood
About what I had to go through.
I just smiled and nodded.
Because really,
You have no idea.
No idea what it's like
To deal with this.
If you knew,
You wouldn't understand.
You would be silent.
And say nothing.
But you have no idea.
You don't know what its like,
To see your world fall apart.
To see him dying,
To see her depressed.
To run your own life,
And theirs.
You don't know what it's like.
You said you knew how I felt.
I asked how?
And you had no answer.
Losing your favorite earrings,
Missing the sale at Kohl's.
It’s not the same.
You pretend you know
How I felt.
But does anyone?
Then you said nothing
Which is the right thing to say
Absolutely nothing.
You asked if I felt better,
After talking to someone.
I said nothing,
You just smiled at me,
And thought I was better.
Cured, over it,
But that's the stupidest question
You could have asked.
If you had listened at all
You would know the answer.
That I can't feel better by just talking.
By just talking.
It made me feel worse.
Because I’m alone.
All alone and no body
Can understand.
I’ll be alone forever.
You would know the answer,
If you had listened.
Do you listen?
Do you care?
Or did you pretend?
You would know that I’ll
Never get over this.
Even if I tell the world,
I won't feel better.
Cause he is dying,
And part of me is dying,
And part of her is dying.
We’re all dying in a way.
And soon there won't be any of us left.
We’ll just be dead to the world.
When you hear that,
You get worried.
Like I’d kill myself.
If you listened you would know.
That I think everyone has too much to live for.
That we shouldn't just disappear.
Just disappear because we
Think no one cares,
Or know.
But no.
We have too much to live for.
We could have a whole life ahead of us.
Who knows what's coming
Around the corner,
Or around the bend.
That’s why we have to live.
And I told you everything.
And you just stood and stared.
And you finally realized that
You don't know what I’m going through.
And you took back your sorry
And you took back how you said
You understood.
You took back everything,
You finally realized.
But we couldn't go back,
Before the sorry,
And before everything you said to comfort me.
It’s too late.
