What Can I Say?

No matter what I say You turn your head away You don’t take me serious You think I’m delirious But I’ve been begging you To just pull me through But you turn your head away No matter what I say The pain radiates The pain is what I hate It is stealing me I wish you could only see I’m down on my knees Whispering pleas You turn your head away No matter what I say I’m consumed by pain That has no name There’s nothing left to take My life is at stake I look into your eyes And I ask you why You turn your head away No matter what I say There is nowhere left to turn That ash and stone will burn I guess I have no choice I have to silence my voice With tears in my eyes I leave alone to cry You turn your head away No matter what I say No matter what I say You throw my words away You leave me alone To face the unknown There are no other ways To say what I must say Because, no matter what I say You turn your head away
