Whisper again what you think I should say
I wanted to share something with you
show you what things that I like to do…
I guess I just expected you to care
but instead I got the long blank stare
I do wish I had your tint of rosy glasses
but your shade of truth, just barely passes
And my hindsight might not be 20/20
but I can still remember more than plenty
I try to give you credit, where it was due
I wish I could get the same in return from you
So tell me again how I pushed you away
whisper again what you think I should say
Wonder some more why I don’t stop by
give me the look that you don‘t think I try
Knock, knock, is there anyone home
are you with me, or am I sitting alone
I could shout at you what I really think
you could definitely drive a person to drink
And then accuse me of needing a shrink
when you are the one who’s missing a link
If you could offer as much as you expected
you might find you were more respected
Again you presumed that I would think like you
confident your pulpit has the more righteous view
So tell me again how I pushed you away
whisper again what you think I should say
Wonder some more why I don’t stop by
give me the look that you don‘t think I try
Show me that you only care if you like it
go ahead, cut off your own nose just to spite it
Keep sharing with me your gossip and mind
while not returning me the same deed in kind
Let’s see if your little selfish plan will work
or will it prove to every one you're just a big jerk
I wonder when you’ll start to figure it all out
after blaming me some more, I have little doubt
So keep on wondering why we can’t be friends
see if it will change why we can’t make amends

This could apply to a few people I know.....and I am sure many I don't.
