Why Bother

Talk it out
Air it out
Put it all
On the table
Watch it fly

Free the mind
Heal the soul
Get it out
In the open
Watch it fly

No more tension
No more anger
No more fighting
So you think
Just a lie

Ends in tension
Ends in shouting
Ends in anger
Ends in fighting
So why bother

A fruitless attempt
To communicate
Unresolved 
Every time
So why bother
