I Think of You When I See Stars

I run now.
Ever since you made your comment
I run.
I was running,
I could tell today wasn't good for it.
I was running,
But I was thinking.
You came up,
As you do,
You came up
And I started crying.
"I don't like you,"
"I don't like you,"
"I don't like you,"
I kept thinking,
But I do.
I love you
And I don't like that
I don't like what you're doing
They don't like you
The people that care,
They resent you.
They watch me break down,
They've been watching.
For weeks, I've unintentionally tortured them.
They're trying so hard to help.
Nothing's working.
I wish you could see,
If only you could see
How much you're hurting me.
I promise, I promise
I'm done
But I'm afraid you're already gone.
I wish that you could see
The stranger you are to me
I'm sorry, I swear it
I'm done.
But I'm afraid you're already gone.

So I'll keep running.
Maybe one day you'll like me.
Because this is the first change.
Only the first change.
I'm changing for you,
And I hope after it all,
I satisfy
So you'll maybe
Pay me the time of night,
Not day,
Night.

Because that's where you are,
The night.
While I'm stuck here in twilight.
