The others

I only change for those who let me

But they're too quick to forget me

Already out the door

As I want to give them more

I'm only as happy as I choose

But everyone tries to make me

They're always trying to please me

Instead of telling me what's wrong

Am I too sentimental? 

I don't ask too much. 

Do I sound too certain? 

They worry I will get resentful. 

All the things they ask of me

When in the end, I let it be

I've never been one for convincing

But they all say I'm a charmer

It's only because I run warmer

Than what they knew before

I don't fake my emotions

I'm no manipulator

And if you got to know me, 

You'd see I'm not a taker

I don't fight, I won't fight

I just laugh and I cry

And I try real hard

To make it look I'm alive. 

Maybe I hide too much

They can never tell my bluff

I'm not misunderstood

The moment they get me

They're not sure if they should.

Hope by hope I drip away

Fading colour on my lips

One by one I lose my chips

And only pain will stay.
