I thought that you were different I might have been wrong about you I took you as someone who cares about me You mistake me for a fool I may not be on your short list In the top one, two or three But I have a lot of patience And I’m there when you need me to be I was always watching your back And help you when I can But what you have given back to me I really don’t understand It’s not that I am needy Or expect you at beck and call But ignoring and being indifferent Is not what I deserve at all You need to look a lot deeper At what I have given here And be a little more attentive And be a lot less austere It won’t take that much time for you Just treat me with a little more care I will always be in your corner When you look you will see me there
