lay it down

It is so frustrating to try so hard to help someone and for them to not listen. I'm sure my father can relate. When you've come from a bad place you don't want to watch anyone else walk in there. And you want everyone who is in the that bad place to come out. You wanna warn them. You want to counsel them. But they won't listen, just as you wouldn't. Just as I didn't. There's nothing you can do to change someone. They have to want to change. The one thing I have learned is that you can change yourself. And sometimes. That's what the situation needs.

he waits for her to understand

but she won't understand at all

she waits all night for him to call

but he won't call anymore

he waits to hear her say

forgive

but she just drops her pearl-black eyes

and prays to hear him say

i love you

but he tells no more lies

he waits for her to sympathize

but she won't sympathize at all

she waits all night to feel his kiss

but always wakes alone

he waits to hear her say

forget

but she just hangs her head in pain

and prays to hear him say

no more

i'll never leave again

how did we get this far apart?

we used to be so close together

how did we get this far apart?

i thought this love would last forever

he waits for her to understand

but she won't understand at all

she waits all night for him to call

but he won't call

he waits to hear her say

forgive

but she just drops her pearl-black eyes

and prays to hear him say

i love you

but he tells no more lies

how did we get this far apart?

we used to be so close together

how did we get this far apart?

i thought this love would last forever
