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 a job that never pays
|
and she tries to understand
|
why she never found a man
|
that didn'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 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've 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 hasn't smiled in 30 days
|
yeah
|
since her father flew away
|
when she tries to understand
|
why he couldnt be a man
|
they tell her that each day
|
|
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 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've said to you
|
while some of it just may be true
|
i need some time i'll be fine
|
don't push me away
|
|
go ahead do what you may
|
i got nothing to say
|
you 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 everyday
|
go ahead, push me away
|
|
and i don't know what they've said to you
|
while some of it just may be true
|
i need some time i'll be fine
|
don't push me away
