The Reason For The Close Off

Does it ever cross her mind that

maybe the reason why we're not listening anymore

is because all we ever do around her is listen?

Does it ever cross her mind that

why I'm so close to that other girl now

is because we were both so sick of her betrayals?

It was always her story, her life,

what she wanted to say.

She's so oblivious,

but still jealous of how we keep her out of all secrets.

If she'd just open her eyes to the world,

and stop living in that self-centered bubble,

maybe she'd find,

it's her fault things ended up this way.

She's been closed off,

left out of it all,

but only because she always puts us off 'till the next day.

She treats her life like it's the story of the century,

and we wanted was a chance to shine too,

but when she hears about that,

she'd show it to everyone we said

we didn't want to see it.

She's missed so much already,

I'm doubting we can ever forgive her.

Because it was always her story, her life,

what she had to say.

She's so oblivious,

but still jealous of how we keep her out of all secrets.

If she'd just open her eyes to the world,

and stop living in that self-centered bubble,

maybe she'd find,

it's her fault things ended up this way.

If she'd give us a little time,

or any trustworthy reason,

to open up to her,

she'd be let back in again,

but as long as it's all about her,

I'm sure things will never get better.

It's always her story, her life,

what she wants to say.

She's so oblivious,

but still jealous of how we keep her out of all or secrets.

If she'd just open her eyes to the world,

and stop living in that self-centered bubble,

maybe she'd find,

it's her fault things ended up this way,

not ours.

Sometimes I wonder how people can be so blind to the world, so uncaring. Then I wonder are they just that blind or do they not care at all?
