(i wrote this a couple years ago.)


Now don't worry.

I'm not angry or mad.

I'm just upset, a little sad.

I've sat here, wondering what I've done.

And I keep waiting for you to respond, hun.

But something tells me you won't.


I know you don't try to hurt me.

But it seems like that's how life's gonna be.

And you're one of the few to truly see

Who I am.


You've climbed under the fence surrounding my heart

So you're the only one who can tear me apart.

I called once before, hoping just to hear your voice.

As if the simple sound of an answering machine can free me from this vice.


And I know I'm probably being annoying.

But I keep coming back because I'm just hope that this is a joke.

That you're toying with me.


And a small part of me is waiting for me to destroy you.

Because I can't have anything nice or new.

My old friends, I'm waiting for them to sue.

Because I destroyed them too.


Do you remember the promise we made?

We promised, we stayed.

I guess we both should have weighed

The weight of the promise that we made.


Because I remember that day.

The things we decided to say.

And I wanted to stay,

But do you?


Now this is getting long.

I don't want it to be a song.

But I have one thing to say;

Won't you please talk to me today?
