Drifting away

I try to let you in
Maybe let you see
What I am going through
The person I may be

But you don’t understand
Pretending that you do
But when you speak more than me
How can this be true
I tell you that I hurt
You start to tell me why
Wasn’t I the one talking
Why can’t you try

To open yourself
To the world which I live
For only then can you see
That this is all I can give

You tell me that it’s wrong
But how do you know
When you have told me
Which way I must go

Listen for a second
Before I drift away
I’m not asking for your opinion
That’s all I have to say
