Resist

I start the day with a simple hello 

I can see he’s ignoring it, though 

Good intentions but now I’m low 

He’s always gonna resist 

 

I make a request to stop by 

But he’s too private of a guy 

I hang my head low and sigh 

He’s always gonna resist 

 

These conversations feel so hollow 

We once were deep, but now shallow 

Now I’m off to cry and wallow 

He’s always gonna resist 

 

I must not ask for a date 

I won’t get one at this rate 

It must be my fate to wait 

He’s always gonna resist 

 

Independence is all he will seek 

True feelings he will never speak 

This situation looks mighty bleak 

He’s always gonna resist 

 

I want to show how I care 

But I know I mustn’t dare 

For he is one to easily scare 

He’s always gonna resist
