Would You Care?


Would you care?

Would you care 

If I disappeared

Out of sight 

Out of mind

It wouldn't be any different

I'm like a toy to you

One day you say

"If you say you want my help, you'll have it forever"

And today

"I don't care/ I'm not dealing with the psychological damage"

You keep changing

Lying

What am I to you?

A toy?

What?

I'm tired of being used

I'm tired of being played

If you want me fine,

If you don't, 

Please go away

I can't deal with this anymore

I need someone dependable

I need a friend

A rock

I thought you were it

You said you'd be there

That you could handle it

I guess you were wrong

Although you don't think it's possible

So maybe you're right

Maybe you lied

Not like I'm not used to it

Please just make up your mind

Because I need you
