Just Not Happy

I love you and need you by my side
You are the light in my darkest day

But I need to know this is more then a ride
And that you are here to stay

I have given my heart to you and now im exposed
I have layed it all on the line

You are like a beautiful rose
And you have thorns on your vine

A simple word from you can melt my heart
A simple look from you can fill my heart with joy

A word from you can tear me apart
You can make feel like im your toy

You tell your wants and I try to make them so
You tell me your needs and I make them come true

I tell you my feelings but deep down I know
That they never really matter to you.

All the time I ask how was your day 
And I really listen to you

And you never care what I have to say
Or why it is that I am blue

I work 3 jobs so you can be a stay at home mom
even though none of your kids are mine

You complain to me and I remain calm
because I know that we all have bad times

I give and give my all to you
And get nothing in return

I tell you I wanna talk to you
But you are not concerned

Why does my love make me blind
Why do I sacrifice so much 

When will you ever make time
When will I feel a loving touch
