When Love Is No Longer There...
You talk to me as if you know me...
(You don't know me).
You talk about me as if you know me...
(You don't know me).
You ask me questions, then never listen to my answer;
you ask me to talk but never hear my voice.
You want attention from me, but ignore it when I give it;
you want my compassion but overlook it when it's offered...
You ask me to see the world, but never like my view;
you ask me to taste life yet hate the bitter and the sweet
You tell me not to look in the past, but you're the one who lives there;
you ask me to move forward, but it is you who remains static.
You ask me for forgiveness, but never accept my apologies;
you ask me to be truthful when it is you who cowers behind the deceit.
You ask me to love you, yet hate it when I do;
You ask me to stay, but always seem to push me further away.
You say you love me for who I am, but always want to change me;
you say love should feel good, but this doesn't feel good anymore...
You talk to me as if you know me...
(You don't know me)
You talk about me as if know me

Lovely - kinda reminds me a bit of the Cat Stevens song 'Father and Son' (although a different type of relationship - one person saying one thing and another hearing something different - I like it a lot
