Why must it be this way

you turn your back on me like I was nothing

but when I go away thats when I'm something

why does it have to be this way

why must you wait until i leave to realize who I am

why must it take so long

I show you

but you choose not to look

you think I don't realize it

but I do

when I tell you I care

you choose not to hear

when I say I love you

you look away

why must it be this way
