"Someday everything will make perfect sense. So, for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason." - Art Thomas

I don’t care what you think,

I don’t care what you say,

I don’t care what you believe.

 

I’m sick of lies, stories, and promises,

I’m sick of the way you hover so caringly,

I’m sick of how I love and hate you.

 

If only you could let me be,

If only you could focus on yourself,

If only you could stop caring.

 

I push you away because you care,

I push you away because that’s how I am,

I push you away because we’re so close.

 

Though I’ve never said it,

Though I probably should’ve,

Though it hurts to say anything to you,

 

I just need to say two words…

I just need to tell you this…

I just need you to listen…

 

I’m sorry
