Do They Realize (I Wonder)

I've tried so hard

To fix all your worries

And I've cried so hard

Over all your stupid little problems

And through all this

I've been oblivious

I didn't realize

My world was crumbling!



Do they realize, I wonder

How hard I try for them

Do they realize, I wonder

What I have given up for them

Everything I have done to make them happy

Every time I have lied to make them happy

Do they realize, I wonder



You never seemed to realize

Your problems have trumped mine

But I never realized

All this time!

That they are just pretending

I think I've entered the masquerade!

And they keep smiling

I always believed in their parade!



How could I have not noticed?

Am I really that dense?

Why did I see it so perfect?

When really it was screwed up,

I guess that's my fate

Listening to the hate

Created by those around me

Those I love



Do they realize, I wonder

How hard I try for them

Do they realize, I wonder

What I have given up for them

Everything I have done to make them happy

Every time I have lied to make them happy

Do they realize, I wonder



I hide and pray that all would be fine

But you all continue to get into deeper shit

I can only help you to a point

Remember this

Some people will put their friends before themselves

But I have learned the pain or forgetting yourself

So I will help to a point

But leave me out of it



I can get into deep shit

But I've found myself saving myself

By trying to save you

But I can't do this

I'm too tired of problems

Of consolers and parents

Of crying and pain

So I'm so sorry

I can't deal anymore
