I couldn't understand why you left me

standing here

flickering out like a candle in the wind

the memories are laced with shame

there's no intention of working out the 

problem that remains the same



Little children standing in the hall

Never taught them anything at all

if you were young again, would you do

it different?

or  make your way just trying to

find the fiction in the fact of life?



Try to believe the words that you said to me are true

but something else assures me I'm not through

been denied so many times and so I'm told to

sit back and ignore the truth

enjoy the ride



Never took a hand with her to school 

take a guess then tell us who's the fool

and you're not supposed to be my responsibility

one day you'll regain your pride

and realize life is too short not to try...



Does anybody care?

Does anybody...?

Does anybody care?
