Why, Man

You know I’m hurting. 
I told you I was on the edge.
What? You say “I’m sorry”,
And leave me on the ledge. 

What the hell, man,
I thought you were here
But now I see, they’re words
Empty sounds for me to hear. 

I’m in pain, man,
I feel like I’m dying. 
I wish I was dead, man,
What? You think I’m lying?

You haven’t checked on me. 
I thought we were friends. 
It’s words, man, just words
Just a text that you send. 

You’re so pathetic. 
You act like you’re above the noise,
But dammit man, 
You’re just a selfish void. 

Its words, just words,
Words and words, that’s it 
You’ve got no actions.
You’re a freaking hypocrite. 

I’m lying on the floor 
Soaked with sweat and tears, 
Curled up in a ball,
Clutching my knees to my ears. 

You don’t even care,
You don’t give me a single thought 
Each day goes by, I know,
Everything was for naught. 

Why though? Man,
I know I don’t matter. 
Why don’t I matter?
Man, why don’t I matter!?

I’m nothing to you. 
I get it, I fully understand 
Your life is more important 
I’m nothing, I just am. 

Don’t act like you care 
When you clearly don’t 
I’m fine, I’ll be fine 
Even though I probably won’t. 

It’s fine. I’m fine
Just go on about your life. 
I’m fine, it’s fine
I don’t need to know why. 

You know I’m hurting. 
I told you I was on the edge.
What? You say “I’m sorry”,
And leave me on the ledge…
