everything i never said

III. people

do you know the kind of people i've been around do you know that i go around this empty city that pretends to be lively do you know that i pretend to be one of them but i'm always angry about something my love do you know how exhausting it is to always put on this act that i'm greater than i am how can you be confident and still insecure why does this fluctuate inside me so badly why do all the lights flicker when i'm not home why won't my heart settle on one truth instead of five why is my naked eye incapable of seeing right through to the very core of things like all the stars and all the love in people's hearts so i can know who to love and who to stay away from my love why haven't you come talked to me yet why are you still so afraid of this happiness we could have why won't you just tell me you want me
