To you:
I tried to be quiet,
you thought I was unapproachable.
I tried to be social,
you thought I was obnoxious.
I tried to show my work ethic,
you thought I was a workaholic.
I tried to show you my intelligence,
you thought I was a nerd.
I tried to follow all the rules,
you thought I was too much of a goody-goody.
I tried to break some of the rules,
you lost respect for me.
I tried to be your friend,
you thought I was pitying you.
I tried to help you,
you didn't want my help.
I tried to joke around with you,
you thought I didn't know how to be serious.
I tried to suppress my feelings,
you thought I was heartless.
I tried to show you my feelings,
and you thought I was wreck.
Well, you know what? I'm tired of trying.
