Give Me a Sign

It's hard to believe
that you could've changed...

It's hard to believe
that you are a man.

I'm having a helluva time
comprehending that fact
after all the shit done to me
by you...it's left a scar.

You oughtta try sometime
to live through my pain.
Then maybe you'll see
all the hurt you've caused.

Then would you give me a sign?
A sign that you understand...
the repercussions of your deeds
and your willingness to repent.

Do you understand?
I don't believe you do.
Can you see what you've done?
Take off those rose colored lenses, boy.

Do the words WAKE UP
come to mind?

Put down your tools
of the trade.

There's no way you can comprehend
how the real world works,
how real people think,
how situations are really handled.

When you cheat, you lose.
When you slander, you taint yourself.
DO you realize your immaturity
is starting to show?

In that, you give me a sign
that you're not ready to
have the experience...the experience
I had given you.

Do you understand?
Looks like you don't.
Can you see what you've done?
Use the eyes God gave you.

Bring you back life.
That's what I did for you.
Pull you 'way from strife.
Ne'er should mistreatment ensue.

That's what I did for you.
You then took advantage of me.
Ne'er should mistreatment ensue.
Perhaps for you love should never be.

You then take advantage of me.
Pull me into your strife.
Perhaps for you love should never be
a force that brings you back to life.

[piano]

Do you understand?
Give me a sign.
Can you see what you've done?
Give me a sign.

Open up my mailbox
a few days ago.
I was surprised
to see something from you.

You typed it out
to make it easy to read
how you deny your wrongdoing;
leave me cold and barren inside.

But now I know
how sadistic you are.
I oughtta turn my back on you
in order to save myself.

DOn't give me a sign
that you have changed.
I've turned around
because you hurt me one too many times.

Do you understand?
You've proven you don't.
Can you see what you've done?
Seems like you're still blind.

In this you gave me a sign
that you've changed for the worse,
and now with that knowledge...
I've got to look away.
