Ya know...

This is something I wrote, just because!

Ya Know

Ya know, you asked me to be patient
You asked me to care
When I needed the favor returned,
You were anywhere but there

Ya know, you asked me to believe
I gave you my all
You were laughing at me
You let me trip and fall

Ya know, I gave so much
I gave you things you didn't deserve
Like love, kindness, trust and faith
Now, it's time I steel my nerve

Ya know, you want to hold me down
Now that I've learned to fly
A lesson I learned well
Now, you're nothing but a goodbye!"

Ya know, I've tried to make you see
I gave you a second chance
You played me like a board game
You never wanted to dance

Ya know, I reached for you
More times than you know
You act so offended
Because I let you go

Ya know, you're alone again
And that's what you want to be
Because to feel love for others
Is an emotion you just don't need

Ya know, it's not your fault
This that I gave to you
It was always one sided
What were you to do?

Ya know, it's what you don't know
That makes you really sad
I just can't allow myself
To pine for things unhad

Ya know, my head is clear now
I've finally grown strong
Enough to face and realize
You played me all along
