Everything (song)

by Marie   Apr 13, 2007


I cry and cry again and again
trying to please
but not with such ease
I try and try again and again
to make you proud
but your love is not found
I sit alone in my room
thinking of ways to show you
how it is I know you
I sulk in my thoughts
thinking of ways to prove to you
there's nothing I can do for you

'cause every little thing I say
you take the wrong way
and every little thing I do
seems so wrong to you
'cause every time I try to see
what you want from me
you push me right away
for play some other day

Honey I'm aiming to please
but missing the bull's-eye
Watching other arrows soar
scoring on first tries
I'm dressed to impressed
but lost in the closet
Pushing away coats
Thread together from lies

cause every little thing I say
you take the wrong way
and every little thing I do
seems so wrong to you
cause every time I try to see
what you want from me
you push me right away
for play some other day

I can never know
what you want from me
cause all you ever do
is watch and taunt to me
trapping me in deception
locked in an image
of overwhelming perfection
Constantly haunting me

cause Ever little thing I say
you take the wrong way
and every little thing I do
seems so wrong to you
cause every time I try to see
what you want from me
you push me right away
for play some other day

Cause every little thing I say
is not right today
And every little thing I do
is not enough for you
cause every time I try to see
what I need to be
you push me right away
with nothing left to say

    It seems that sometimes no matter how hard we try, no matter our efforts we cannot please certain people.

    "trapping me in deception
    locked in an image
    of overwhelming perfection
    Constantly haunting me"

    This was such a poignant write and I will be sure to read more of your poetry :]
    Take Care,
