if you listened

Folder: 
The Bad Thoughts

if only you knew

how much i hate you

maybe you wouldn't tell me so many lame jokes

or stories that i could care less about

to try and make me laugh

that smile is so fake

i just wanted you to leave me alone

i think you just like hearing yourself speak

i pray to god my ears fall off

now and then i nod

or say "yeah, uh huh"

but i want to scream "shut up!"

I've heard this story before

and it wasn't funny to begin with

somehow you don't catch my hostility

i do my best to avoid you

my gosh, i can't stand you

yeah, you're so great, you're so nice

you talk about yourself alot

what makes you think that turns me on?

guys who are so full of themselves...

where did you get the idea that i like that?

you know i don't try to impress people

with long complicated words

i just don't want to be corrected all the time

i hate being critisized

why don't you just say it?

you think i'm stupid

you think you know everything and you don't

but i never say anything when i know you're wrong

because i don't want to make you feel like an idiot

i know that feeling all too well

i'm sick of you thinking that you're so full of knowledge

you're full of shit

i'm tired of you acting like you know me better than i do

you don't know shit

maybe if you'd let me talk

let me speak my mind

before you go slapping me back down

my ideas are dumb right?

my opinion doesn't count

who cares what i have to say?

i want somebody to listen to me

somebody to hear all the things

i do and do not say

if you'd be quiet for once

and stop talking about yourself

hear what i have to say

maybe if you'd listen harder

then you would know

how much i hate you
