Never There

Though it causes you so much pain
It's about time to come out of the rain
Demanding and strong oh so bold
Pretending to be so stone cold

Because you simply refuse to believe
A heart and soul you could retrieve
Unwillingly though surrendered to you
A spot of light and a moment of truth

Those words spoken to beat me down
Was like the smile on the face of a clown
When I was hurting you weren't even my friend
As I sat there and watched you pretend

Won't give the satisfaction of showing you care
It was all in my head because you were never there
Keep hiding your eyes because they tell the truth
The stuff inside you keep on a noose

If you really do want to be all alone
Keep on acting like you're cold as a stone
Won't keep watching and continue to care
When all along you were never there
