"Bother"

[rejecktionsfrnd]

I'll play the puppet
You'll pull the strings
But you won't feel a thing
Won't you cut me down
I'm tired of hanging
Onto your words
There as empty as the promises
You once gave to me

It's here, it's everywhere.
If you wanted it, it'd already be there.
Right in front of you
But that's not close enough.
It's not about trying
It's a black and white matter
And you aren't even close,
Don't even bother...

This isn't giving up,
It's having enough.
It's my song for you,
And I'll sing it true.
Close your eyes and hear me now
I'll make this work someway, somehow.
If only you would listen-
You'd see what was missing.

It's here, it's everywhere.
If you wanted it, it'd already be there.
Right in front of you
But that's not close enough.
It's not about trying
It's a black and white matter
And you aren't even close,
Don't even bother...

What I wouldn't give
For just one more day
To tell you all of the things
That I just couldn't say
I miss your smile,
I miss your laughter
But I've lost you now
My happily ever after

It's here, it's everywhere.
If you wanted it, it'd already be there.
Right in front of you
But that's not close enough.
It's not about trying
It's a black and white matter
And you aren't even close,
Don't even bother...

You never did...
You never did.
