All I can ever be

I'm the guy
who sits in despair
The one who knows
that you don't care

That nothing
I say
Can make you feel
the same way

The same way
That I do
When I say
That I love you

In the utter darkness
I sit alone
holding the receiver
listening to the dial tone

and I start to wonder
Why I sit here at night
with my closed fist
and heart renewed with spite

So I finally
quit
I'm tired
of all of it

I'm tired of being alone
of staying up all night
listening to the dial tone

Of all
the lies
Hidden deep
within your eyes

but I'm not
going to die
If I don't hear
your little white lie

I've heard it
to many times
spoke of it
in too many rhymes

And I'm tired
of trying
to stop my eyes
from crying

so I
finally quit
I am to tired to deal
with all the lies that you spit

So let me be
Never say
that you
love me

because
in the end
I'll I can ever be
is just a friend.
