When they ignore me
It’s for the best
When you ignore me
It’s kind of cruel
They will always take what I say to heart
But for my words you’re too aloof
They pretend like what I do doesn’t phase them
I know for a fact you don’t care
They want to dance around the question
You, however, were already there
It’s different when they lie to me
It’s scary when you do
I could care less about what they care to hide
But I’ll even pay to get your truth
They’re afraid to set me down
For you I switch feet just to stand
They feed and toast me at the table
All the while I’m content with the scraps from your hand
With them they blatantly give me their cards
With you it’s like I forget how to bluff
I’m always their star of the show
You cast me in case someone doesn’t show up
It’s going to take them a while to catch on
You took no time in figuring it out
I don’t have to wonder if they’ll stay with me
I’ll be loyal to you without a doubt
I don’t need their reassurance
But it is something I’ll continue to have
I don’t know what you need from me
But I’ll keep giving until it drives me mad.
