I Write Poetry
[b]"Common Ground"[/b]
For so long I have tried so hard to be good for you
But it was never enough no matter what I say or do
And all these dreams inside that I can't make real
When you won't even tell me how it is you really feel
All the hateful things you say I pretend won't phase me
Cause I know you only do it to drive me crazy
So I bottle it up inside and will never mention
How badly that I am dying for some love and attention
But what's the point in even trying as you turn away?
When inside I keep on dying each and every day
And as my love withers like a flower out of season
I try to cling to you but you won't give me a reason
I know someday I'll have to leave this life behind me
Find the strength to go where you will never find me
But until then I keep hoping we will turn it around
And find that dream that we shared On common ground
For so long I have tried so hard to be good for you
But it was never enough no matter what I say or do
And all these dreams inside that I can't make real
When you won't even tell me how it is you really feel
All the hateful things you say I pretend won't phase me
Cause I know you only do it to drive me crazy
So I bottle it up inside and will never mention
How badly that I am dying for some love and attention
But what's the point in even trying as you turn away?
When inside I keep on dying each and every day
And as my love withers like a flower out of season
I try to cling to you but you won't give me a reason
I know someday I'll have to leave this life behind me
Find the strength to go where you will never find me
But until then I keep hoping we will turn it around
And find that dream that we shared On common ground
