Lyrics

You don't love me, you think you do
But who you love is really you,
You are in love with your reflection,
It validates you.

You don't hear me, you think you do
The things I say, don't interest you
You're not attuned to my emotions
It's all about you, it's all about you.

And you're missing out on me
You're missing me
I'm right here in front of you
Loving you, hanging in
Hoping you'll love me too

You don't see me, all that I do
The things that I dream, you don't have a clue
You're focused on you, instead of us
But what's new, yeah what's new?

You're always right, you can't concede
Your world revolves around your needs
You need constant love and adulation
But what about me? Yeah what about me?

And now I ask, why am I still here,
Is this true love, or is it fear
Of being alone, like I've been all along
Will I cry when I'm gone?

And then you'll be missing me, yeah, you'll be missing me
No I won't still be here for you,
I won't be loving you, no more hangin' in
No more hoping you'll love me too
