You attempt to understand me
As if I could understand myself
You attempt to teach me
As if you thought I could learn
You try to make me happy almost everyday
you try to ignore my growing depression
And my crazy disarray
You point to the sun
As if I wasn't blind
You sing a happy song
As if I were not deaf
You tell me all these jokes
As if I were not crying
You lie to my face
saying everything will be fine
You lie to my face
When you say you will always stay
You try to prop me up
As if I were not crippled
You try to explain life
As if it were so simple
You nibble at the thought
the thought of making me good
And I choke on the thought
because I know you never could
