Punished By Needing

Will you do what I ask?
I need you on my side today
Well it’s important to me
Will you be there for me?
Or leave me all alone again
Just leave me on my own again
All alone and scared
Of what might become of me
Please don’t abandon me
I can never tell your mood
You might be kind or rude
I always have to beg
And I can’t handle this truth
Why do I stay and burn
It seems I’ve never learned
That you can only be counted on
To never be counted on
It’s such an awful truth
But I stay and endure
Right until the end
To the very last
I’m such an eager fool
For you
Punished by needing you
