Why Did You Bother To Come

Why Did You Bother to Come?

You don’t need me
You don’t feed me
And we’re not having fun
Why did you bother to come?

You’re not sharing
You’re not caring
And buy coffee for one
Why did you bother to come?

Did you think it was a holiday
Where you could play
All your little games with me?
Did you think my world so grey
And you will stay as long as everything 
Is free?

I’m just coping
I’m still hoping
Your work here is done
Why did you bother to come?

You’re at my table
You watch my cable
It’s my friendship you shun
Why did you bother to come?
Why did you bother to come?
Why did you bother to come?
