Why do you look at me?

I’ve written slightly soppy stuff for a change, but I like the feel of it.


How do you start to be sorry?
Where do you draw the line?
Why do you always pretend
When you tell me your life is fine?
Will I see a real reaction?
When will enough be too much?
Although you know you’re just a deal to me,
You never shrink from my touch.

You give and you give
But you don’t ever hurt,
I grab and I run
While you lie in the dirt.
As long as you love me
You’ll never be free…
Why do you even look at me?

I can feel your lips, how they tremble,
I only hurt you with each kiss.
I can see you cry with every goodbye,
What did you do to deserve this?
My pillow’s cold when you awaken
When you need me close I’ll be away,
I’m never there to hold you when it’s dark
But you pray for real love one day.

You give and you give
But you don’t ever hurt,
I grab and I run
While you lie in the dirt.
As long as you love me
You’ll never be free…
Why do you even look at me?

Silence is a killer.
Don’t become another victim.
I don’t love you, I’m using you.
Why do you look at me?
Just, Stop.

Romance has no real meaning
I can’t hear the songs anymore.
You’ve lost the lover I used to be
And you’ll always be a whore.
Don’t you know the end has come?
Don’t waste sweet tears in crying.
I will always let you down,
I will leave you dying.

You give and you give
But you don’t ever hurt,
I grab and I run.
I leave you lying in the dirt.
As long as you love me,
You can never be free.
I needed you once, but no more…
Why do you still look at me?
