Sincere - Still Living

Maybe if I yelled then you might listen

Would that be a better way

To get your full attention

And if you’d ever let me get a parting word in

Then I might be able

(to say what I need to)

Forever have a better grip on this

But honestly

I’ve given myself up for full disclosure

That was never quite enough

For you to see

How I sincerely meant everything

Were you ever sincere with me

I’ve been biting my tongue

(and now we’ve both had enough)

I wish you’d just grow up

If I can find a way to bridge the space we made

I would

But I can’t and I’m done

When you threw me away

Did that mean anything

At the end of the day

Were you absent for your sake

Don’t hold your breath

You break, I mend

And now we’re at this again

When will this fucking end

I know I don’t see you so often

My hope is that can change somehow

I know I don’t see you so often

My hope is that can change somehow

But honestly

I’ve given myself up for full disclosure

That was never quite enough

For you to see

How so sincerely I’m speaking

You were never sincere with me
