lyrics

I know you don't think much of me
If you think of me at all
I'm just some schmuck with a heavy sack of woes
I bet you tell your friends
How ridiculous I am
Wait no one knows nothing 'cause no one knows
I'm nowhere on your mind
Except when you feel annoyed
And then my face comes through loud and clear
Yeah I got a lot of problems
What else is new
But other than that to you I disappear

I only ask one thing
It would mean a lot to hear you say it
In fact it would downright strike me
I don't think it's asking much
But here I go
Just wish you would say you like me

You got a clever way of hiding what you feel
You do that well
And I don't know what to think
You're in my head way too much
I can't seem to let you go
You've driven me way beyond the brink
I know that you can't love me
I get where you coming from
And I get that's part of your equation
I'm more like a patient
Someone that you treat
And then you street me without hesitation

I can tell by that wincing look
That you've had it with me
And all my endless wanting
You rather not deal with it
It really wears you out
You make no bones you find me daunting
I don't do it with bad intent
Or to mess with your shit
I only do it because it's how I really feel
And how I really feel
I somehow can't control
When confronted for once with the real deal
