Why do you do what you do?

[forsakenatreyu]

It seems no matter what I do
I'm never good enough for you.
and I begin to pray
that you will let me stay
inside your heart

Lately you don't care.
Then you whisper that you love me,
but it's rare,
Then you wrap your arms around me.

Who lit that black flame in your heart?
I'm near you,
but I'm so far from where you are.
All I want to say is "I love you too".

But when you do what you do,
all I can succumb to is to cry.
I hear you,
So don't you say another word.

If I'm so important to you,
why do you treat me the way you do?
I feel as though I'm fading away,
that both of our hearts have begun to stray.

In the end,
we are alone.
I'm just too far from where you are.
I want to come home.
To have your arms around me,
holding me close when the dreams get bad.
You make my soul smile,
when you see my eyes are sad.

But now the tides have turned,
and things have got to change.
You're leaving me behind,
Things will never be the same.
You just don't seem to care,
and I'm always left alone.
I really truly tried,
but I'm saying my goodbyes.
