Should I even bother

love me is what you would say to me
And all my love I would give to thee
I lose my sleep
In hopes of you to keep

Early I wake
For your conversation to take
All day every day
I find the words to say

Just to hear you talk
Even just to see you I'd walk
Barefoot for miles
Over broken glass tiles

It started of simple
Of none you'd resemble
Your smile was so perfect
Made every mile worth it

But I didn't know there was another
Chances are I wouldn't even bother
To know I didn't stand a chance
To know you wouldn't even give me a second glance

Everything to you I was willing to give
To give you a life you'd love to live
But now there is another
So why should I even bother?

He makes you happy
So why do I feel so crappy?
Now that there is another
Should I even bother?

So here is what I'll do
I will always think of you
So I know what to do
Before I ever give out what is true

I'll sit alone
And sing my mellow tone
Before I give my heart
So it can't be torn apart

I'll build a wall
So very tall
Built of stone and steal
So it never has to heal

From this disaster
Free from any master
Free from sorrow
And free from tomorrow

Couldn't you tell?
How far it was that I fell
When I would go out of my way
To talk to you every day

But this is my fault
I should have listened to what I was taught
I should have listened to the pain of my past
To know this would never last

So now I'm the fool
So now I'm the tool
Who was hurt in the past
Who was hurt again at last
