It's All You
You are too oblivious
 Too blind to understand
 Your ears won't listen to my words
 But it's not like they'd have any effect anyway
 It's the way you speak your pessimistic views
 On my shining day
 The way you tell me you hate my favorite things
 And crush my every dream
 Oblivious, of course
 Too afraid to see anything more
 Than the tip of your own nose
 You come off differently
 I thought you were deep as the ocean
 So much to say to people, so much for me to hear
 But really, all you are is a kiddy pool.
 Nothing to say but hurting words.
 I want to tell you to go away
 But because of that first impression
 You are my best friend
 And I'll admit, I'm too afraid
 Too afraid to speak this truth
 Too afraid to defy your views
 I'm not going with your flow
 I'm not that kind of person
 But I'm too afraid to let you know
 I'm the fish swimming in the other direction
