again?


Once again, you push me away Why do you always have to make things go your way? You apologize and apologize but even people who bump into me in the hallway say more than that. why do I have to beg you to tell me how you really feel? I'm so confused and so stressed out is that what love is all about? One day you tell me you'll never hate me then the next day you act like it because you can't even face me! when are things finally going to change? stop with all the lies just tell the truth so I can get over you! Whenever I hear your name being called it's like I'm getting swallowed in the dark all your friends look at me but the ones who don't know look at the girl you left me for across the room smiling with her friends not having to beg for things that I could never have.
