I Don'T Know

'I don't know' is the only answer I can give,
because before now it was the only thing I was aloud to say.
But that's not a good enough answer for you. 
Like an English Teacher you need full sentences rather then just words,
And like a Maths Teacher you need full working out, showing how I got my answer.

You said you would take me anywhere in the world,
But you just needed to know where,

You said you would buy me anything in the world,
But you just needed to know what,

You said you would do anything for me so that I would be happy,
But you just needed to know what makes me happy,

But, I don't know.

You kiss me because you want to,
You kiss me again because you think I wanted you to.
You think I smile because you funny?
I smile out of habit because I don't know how to say stop.
I have been wearing this mask for so long,
I don't know how to get it off.

You think you make me happy?
You are the reason my life is so sad.
You are the reason I want to leave.
You are the reason I wish I never came to this place to meet you.

But...

I don't know...I don't know how to tell you.
