bitter sweet

Directions: Read each stanza as four lines only and then when done, read all of the fifth lines.

Can you tell that I am heartbroken?
Read the writing all across my face
I'd like to sit still for once
But my heart is strewn all over the place
- And I'm left picking up the pieces.

I sing my soul out to you
Spill my frustrations and put them into song
But it's just noise to you
I guess it has been all along
- And you won't stop to listen

People keep asking me
What's wrong? What did he do?
It's never a question of what wasn't done.
But then again, doing something would be too much for you.
- You don't care enough to try

Gotta live today like it's my last day
Leave you stranded in the dust
Don't turn around, don't look back,
Yet even then I must...
- The whole time, it was a lie.
