I try to make you smile, to mend your broken frown,
But every step I take just seems to bring you down.
I stumble in my efforts, my intentions go astray,
Yet I'm the one who always ends up in dismay.
Misunderstood, I stand alone in the blame,
While trying to play a part in your joyous game.
I long to see you happy, to see your eyes gleam,
But my best intentions shatter like a broken dream.
Your anger cuts deep, like a knife to my soul,
As I struggle to make sense of this heartache's toll.
I wish you could see, I'm trying to be true,
A loyal friend to you, in all that I do.
I stumble and fall, but my heart holds no deceit,
Hoping one day you'll understand, our bond complete.
I'll keep trying to make amends, to make things right,
Praying you'll see the love shining bright through the night.
