We say one thing, but mean another,
I don't know why I still bother,
Understanding your speech,
Is out of my reach,
Something prevents me from hearing you,
And then almost as if on cue,
The words jumble together,
The hope starts to fade,
Leaving the mess you've made,
I'm told to forget the promises you've broken,
I'm listening to past words you've spoken,
Open up my eyes,
Because your issues were no surprise,
I didn't notice at first, but you tried,
To make the situation hide,
It might have worked if not too long ago,
Those wise words finally tell me what I know.
