i want to make things better
but I do not know how
i've tried to get closer
but this is as close as you'll allow

you keep me at a distance
you say its only fair
but can't you open your eyes and
see how much i care

you think its better this way
that you keep it all inside
and even though you know i look for you
you continue to hide

and if thats the way you want it
then thats the way it is

i just wanted to save you when
you had nothing left to give

but you make me feel unwelcome
you treat me like its not my place to say
but i cannot stand you lying when you
pretend its all okay
