Confused
You know I have not hurt you,
but still you will not see.
How can I be what you want,
when you won't tell me what to be.

I have a mind to live my life,
but I want it to be yours.
You tell me that I'm not right,
and when you rain, it pours.

You always tell me what is wrong,
but not how to make it right.
You continue with your dance and song,
while I am losing sight.

I feel your words, I hear your pain,
you fill me to the top.
With your complaints, but you remain,
why don't you ever stop.

Why do I put up with you,
when something says move on.
The little voice inside my head,
says we can't get along.

But I don't need that voice,
to see that that is true.
But for some reason I remain,
some part of me loves you.

Can't you tell that what you do,
makes me fall behind.
You want me to be with you,
but I can't seem to find.

The way to do what makes you happy,
how to make it right.
You expect so much of me,
I'm in a losing fight.

I hear your voice despite the words,
it makes me feel at ease.
When I see you walking near,
it makes me want to please.

Then I hear that voice that's shouting,
telling me move on.
You really do not make this easy,
you make it seem all wrong.

If it's a question of my love,
I can say no more.
Only that nothing has changed,
from what it was before.

I can't tell you where I am,
only you can say.
All I know is I'm confused,
and you make me that way.
Not among my favorites.
