How

How can I say what I feel,
you don't even care to listen;
how can I touch your shoulder,
you closed the door before my face.

How can I reach out to you, dear,
indifference is creeping within you;
how can I make these eyes see,
you always hide behind your curtain.

Now who's to blame I just can't say
though I know it's either you or me;
I've got a feeling that I can't hide,
why can't  you help me and be by my side.

How can I ever right a wrong,
it doesn't matter to you;
how can I travel a straight path,
you have taken away my light.
