Rights and Wrongs

You never bothered to learn anything about me You never bothered to ask how I am You never let me console you when you were sad You never wanted to learn who I truly am All you got was the surface layer of me You didn't ask what my favourite things were While I could name all of yours in a heart beat I tried to make things better I tried to learn how you work But as soon as things changed And it was no longer about you It was too much and you left You made me hate myself So much I wanted to change for you Not for me I cry not because you're gone I cry because I let you do this to me I used to count the seconds until you woke up Then I could share my day with you Start yours with me End mine with you Maybe it was too much Maybe it wasn't enough Or maybe it was all wrong Even if it felt so right
