It Matters

I'm surrounded

No, I'm alone

Left by myself

To face the cold

I know what I said

I know I wanted this

But can you really take orders

From a heart that's delirious

Lost in a world

Where reputation is everything

Expectations are meant to be met

That never really happens

You continue to fight

For the attention

For your chance in the spotlight

You won't get it

You never will

Why care what others think

What others say

It doesn't matter they said

But it does

It all does

It can make or break you

Your life depends on it

You don't want to care

But you do it anyway

You can't help it

I live and learn by this

You tell a lie

Learn to live it

But not everything is false

Some is true

Though it may not seem

I lie to you not

I am what I say

Someone on my arm

At the end of the day

Whether for pleasure or torture

We have yet to find out

I guess we will see

Before the love dies out
