all for you
Jillian Strom
You said that I couldn’t be there for you,
I’m too caught up in my own problems
And you can’t really talk to me.
Even when I'm there,
You think I’m not listening,
That I don't care.
But it's not what you think,
It's not because I’m selfish,
I am not conceited
And I don’t think my problems are bigger.
I just can’t listen because the thoughts in my head are so loud there is no room for anything more.
I am at a dead end,
There is no forward,
No road ahead,
The more I tell you the more selfish I’ll be.
My light is dimming,
So I’ll sit here and listen to it ringing,
Warning me to do something,
Warning me to get help,
But even you know I won’t.
So, I’ll continue until my light goes out,
But I’m not gonna pout,
I’m gonna listen,
Listen to every word,
I’m gonna listen in hopes your light stays bright,
Shines bright the way mine never could.
