You cannot do this,
You can't care
Yet still do the things you do.
You can't be concerned
If this is how you treat me.
All the time I gave you,
When I make a mistake
It's over, just like that.
You hurt me,
You can't still care
And do the things you have done.
You lack even
The most basic of human compassion.
For someone who cares,
You sure don't show it.
Stop pretending to care if you don't,
But act like you care if you do.
This dance has gone on long enough.
Be more decisive,
Either care or don't,
But don't say one thing
And act the other.
