Do you really care?

You talk to me like I'm nothing special,
Do you need me now that you have your little angel?
You put me down like i shouldn't be here,
But answer this question, Do you really care?

I tried to make you laugh but you didn't even smile.
You're standing here scolding me.
Making me feel like a stupid child.

An I that insignificant to you?
Unlike her, she's beautiful and rare.
So I'll ask this question once again.
Do you really care?

I hear you two in the other room.
You seem to be having fun,
while I'm tortured by what you've done.
I'm alone in this room trying not to cry when all I want is to die inside.

Did I do something wrong to make you hate me?
You used to be my idol but now you don't even notice me.
I do my best for YOU but somehow I always fail.
Asking myself if the things you do could put a man in jail.

I will stay strong and never brake.
My spirit and pride you can never take.
So before I go to bed, left out and in the dark,
I would like to know the truth.
Do you really care?

And that is from the heart.
