No, You Don't Understand

Why I wouldn't open up to you. Why trust someone who never listens? Who kept me just for the attention?

Words flew out But the barrier remained Though no matter how hard you tried It forever stayed.

Nothing told how I felt My smiles and laughs seemed all to real Nothing like the fakes But I sure fooled you.

No, you don't understand Why I wouldn't open up to you. Why trust someone who never listens? Who kept me just for the attention?

My wall too high My spirit seemed to fly Only it wasn't a secret Of how the words never reached us.

I opened up But always at the right time. You pushed me away And realized too late.

No, you don't understand Why I wouldn't open up to you. Why trust someone who never listens? Who kept me just for the attention?

Outside, I'm an angel Alone, I'm mistaken. But now I see the truth And only spot a monster.

I almost told you everything about me What fool I was to trust you. But now my wall's stronger And I can only thank you.

No, you don't understand Why I wouldn't open up to you. Why trust someone who never listens? Who kept me just for the attention?

You hit the restart button But it took you longer than before And by the time I came though You were pushing me out the door.

Begs and pleas For me to open up Yet I always pushed by Never showing what's inside.

So, no you don't understand Why I wouldn't open up to you. Why trust someone who never listens? Who kept me just for the attention?
