Don't look at me

Don't look at me like that

You think you know who I am

Just by looking at a generic copy of me

But your wrong

You'll always be wrong

 

You have no idea where I am from,

Or who I am, yet you sit there

Looking at me like you have all the answers

You're a fool

But who I am to judge?

 

I too, do not know who you are

But I continue to spout my rants

Maybe I've been waiting for someone like you

Someone like you who can listen

Someone who will not talk back

 

Can I tell you something?

I've been waiting for a while

Waiting for someone I love

He said he would come back, but that was so long ago

So long, I don't think I could tell you the date

But here I sit

 

I don't think he'll come back

He said he would, but I think he lied

Everyone lies, did you know that?

You know it now

People seem nice and kind on the outside

But all they really want is self-satisfaction

 

I bet you can't tell, but I used to be someone like that

Someone who used others

Now look at me

I am the one being swindled

You must think I am a fool

 

Oh well, I guess you can think what you want

I will still be here, waiting at my table

Where he told me he would meet me next

When you feel the need to see me again

All you have to do is pick up that old photograph

And there I'll be, looking at you with eyes

That pierce the soul, and smiling with that cold, emotionless grin

 

Everyone wants someone to confide in right?

You shall be my confidant now, strange friend

I can count on you to listen because I know

You shall always be there

I can't count on him anymore

You're just what I need

And I thank you for that
