Just What I Want

Maybe I just want someone who truly cares.
A person that will always be there.
Someone that won't ever turn their back on me.
Someone that doesn't know the definition of deceive.

A mother that can't hold grudges.
Whose heart doesn't contain any smudges.
A father that knows I exist.
Who won't look at my love and resist.

A friend who doesn't talk behind my back.
Whose honesty will never lack.
An aunt that puts everyone first.
Who doesn't only quench her own thirst.

A boyfriend that thinks I'm good enough.
Who doesn't always expect me to be tough.
An uncle that doesn't have a dark past.
Who I can hang with and always laugh.

Nobody is perfect and I know that.
Where's the honesty and love at?
Has it really disappeared?
I no longer see it here.

I don't want the perfect life, I know it's not real.
I just want people who care about how I feel.
People that know when I'm faking that smile.
People that will stick around for a long while.

I give my all and help everyone.
Do they want to take away my sun?
Do they see the happiness deep within and want to take it away?
These things leave me with nothing else to say.

They say they love me.
They say they care.
I don't think their love is anywhere.
They hide it deep down and never share.

Maybe, just maybe the love has never existed.
Their feelings towards me have always been conflicted.
They tell me they love me, but don't really mean it.
They tell me they care and then treat me like shit.

I want to scream.
I want to cry.
I don't want to dream.
Just let me lie.

They don't see the pain.
They don't see the rain.
They let me get drenched.
I'm sitting alone on a bench.

They don't see me there.
They'll never see me anywhere.
I'm invisble to the eye.
Why can't we say goodbye?
