Why is it that you never can see How hard I try to expect less Cause of how much you mean to me I made my whole life a mess I feel like I fell in a hole And am digging deeper when trying to be free But when I needed you most I always notice it was hard for you to see You tried to pretend that I mattered But you turned my back on me You’ve lived your life with your eyes closed Walked life’s hardships blindly I try to tell you I care about you But the ocean is too deep I’m treading water waiting for you My strength is hard to keep My life spins around me All is like a flash of light I grip on and hold on tightly But reality is now in my sight It is not fair that I drag myself down I try so hard just to keep myself up But I’m always told to keep my feet on the ground Why is it for you not enough Do I pretend I ask for little But truly ask too much to bear In a world that holds me tightly Am I expecting greatness, yet never tried to share All the gift that you are given All the wonders of the universe All the times I jumped in to save you All the times it could have been worse I try to tell you I care about you But the ocean is too deep I’m treading water waiting for you My strength is hard to keep My life spins around me All is like a flash of light I grip on and hold on tightly But reality is now in my sight Did I look at the world too negatively? Do I see my life filled with despair? All the times you knew that you could do better All the times I wished you was there If there is one thing I can tell you and I really do mean what I say All the chances you had and lost it And all the times you walked away It was all just a big mistake I took it all for nothing But when you get down to earth I want to say life is more then something I try to tell you I care about you But the ocean is too deep I’m treading water waiting for you My strength is hard to keep My life spins around me All is like a flash of light I grip on and hold on tightly But reality is now in my sight I wish you can live life clearly And if some day you can see For all that has been done wrong Together is where we will always be In a final thought of hope I hold I wish you could say without words "When time is bad and life's not fair, Just think of me and I'll be there" I try to tell you I care about you But the ocean is too deep I’m treading water waiting for you My strength is hard to keep My life spins around me All is like a flash of light I grip on and hold on tightly But reality is now in my sight Wake up from your simple day dream Wake up from what you wish you were Wake up from you shallowness Wake up....your life’s a blurBirth sign: Cancer
