Push Me Away - SPOUT

She hasn’t eaten in days

Her family wonders about her ways

But they don’t understand .so they try the best they can

To push it all away

She hasn’t spoken in days

She lost her job that never pays

As she tries to understand why she never found a man

Who wouldn’t push her away

She says everybody puts their faith in someone they cannot see

Yet I’m standing right here, you won’t believe in me

Tell me what it takes so I don’t feel fake

And I’ll try to be good for goodness sake

All I ask from you is please don’t push me away

And I don’t know what they have said to you

While some of it just may be true

I need some time, I’ll be fine — don’t push me away

Her mother was never there

And her father never cared

And the children understand that even they have their demands

That just get pushed away

She’s hasn’t smiled in thirty days

Since her father flew away

And she tries to understand why he couldn’t be a man

And tell her that’d he stay

-Bridge-

Go ahead, do what you may

I’ve got nothing to say

You’ve said it all before

On your way out the door

I can’t keep losing you

I can’t keep going through

The same thing every day

Go ahead… push me away
