Why Can't You Just Leave?

*This is actually a song I wrote, but I thought it should come up here all the same.*

I'm not the one with a future,
Lurking in the dark ahead.
I don't have ambitions,
Or someone waiting for me to be better,
Than I was before.
Nothing worth it in myself.
Why can't you see that?

Why can't you just leave me?
What do you see in this empty heart?
Why do you make me believe?
Are you hoping that I'll be better in time?
What are you waiting for?

Can't think of anyone else,
But myself.
I'll always dissapoint,
Never say the right words.
I don't know what your expectations are.
My heart can't hold yours, just like there's nothing
For you to take from me.

So why can't you just leave me?
What do you see in this empty heart?
Why do you make me believe?
Are you hoping that I'll be better in time?
What are you waiting for?

Can't you see the tattoos on my soul?
How can you dare to hope?
What makes that light in your eyes shine?
Why can't I have that in mine?
My past tears at my future,
My present grasps for the next moment.
I've got nothing to live for.

Oh, why can't you just leave me?
What do you see in this empty heart?
Why do you make believe?
Are you hoping that I'll be better in time?
What are you waiting for?

Because I'm waiting for the end.
