I give up.
Nothing I do can satisfy you. Nothing I say can fix it.
Nothing I do is enough for you. No matter how much I pay for it.
I try to make things better for you. I consider, I stress, I change.
But nothing I am is good, or true, or sorry enough for you.
I don't know how to make it better. I'm not sure how much more I can cry.
Each day I do my best to adjust myself; take the criticism, the opinions, the complaints.
I submit, I cater, and change who I am. I think and rethink and rethink.
I tip toe, I'm careful, I try not to displease. I do it all with a smile.
One of these days it'll be my turn. You'll call on me, with no reply.
One of these days I'll consider only myself. And you'll wish there had been a goodbye.
It won't be 'til then that you'll see all I try, all the things I do just for you.
Not 'til then that you'll realize all I am trying to do is love you.
And love you.
And love you.
