My Opinion

Why do you bother asking me
And pretend that you care
When I can't even get a word out
And if I did you wouldn't hear

You try and make me think I'm important
You try and make me think you want to know
You try and make me think it matters
Then you show me it just isn't so

Don't say you want to know how I feel
Don't say you want to know what I think
Don't say you need to hear me
Then not even listen when I try to speak

Your losing a good opinion
That really is worth while
Your losing a good person
And you don't even seem to care at all

I'll only be shut out and silenced so much
I'll only take coming last in your life once
I can't be the ex you once had
I need better than your rebound love

I'll stop short of giving you my all
When all I get is your best you can do
I'll only love you as much
As you open up and allow me to
