i'm just lost and your help would be appreciated

but your judgment doesn't do anything for me

except leaving me to wish your words have meaning

you can stop mindfucking me with your vocabulary

and this is what i want from you

a little more attention

and this is what i want from you

a little understanding

and this is what i want from you

an affirmation of my wisdom

and this is what i want from you

because i'm so demanding

i've always wanted to be loved

and i've always been eager to please

but i can't keep on ignoring myself

and i don't understand why you can't hear my screams

and this is what i need from you

a little less ambivalence

and this is what i need from you

to listen and learn

and this is what i need from you

thought makes all the difference

and this is what i need from you

to owe nothing in return

i have been begging and i have repented

and i'm still not perfect but i'm trying to fix it

i'm close to breaking and you've not relented

and i'm just a girl at the end of the day

with a soul that's hard up for mending

and i just wish there were no strings attached
