confusing syllables (COMPLETE)

you'd stand up

i never knew

that i could be so cold

and do so much wrong

i never knew

that you'd stand up

just to protest for me

because i'm not audacious

i'm not assertive

nor will i ever be

i'll get demoted

while they're promoted

i'll stay here

and watch them have fun

i'll be here waiting for someone

that's  a good excuse 

for being alone

so i'm just waiting for you

but only if perception is reality

i thought you were done

so if you want to talk it out

you'll have to say it first

because i promise you

i'm a bit afraid

afraid of myself

afraid of conversation

but i promise that i won't say a word.
