You always seem to think the world spins only
For you, with you, around you--
You never really seemed to notice that
The world isn't yours alone.
Why wouldn't you listen when I told you
Of all the dreams I'd had for us?
But you just wouldn't listen...
You had to go and throw it all away.
 
What's the use of lying?
What's the use of sighing and crying?
What's the use of being here
If you're never gonna know
What you mean to me?

You never really listened when I told you what
I thought, I dreamed, I wanted.
Well, now it doesn't really matter anymore
Since you still wouldn't listen now.
Ever since crawling through hell and back,
I just wanted you to know one thing---
I don't have eternal patience,
And I won't always be here waiting for you.

What's the use of lying?
What's the use of sighing and crying?
What's the use of being here
If you're never gonna know
What you mean to me?

Oh, what's the use in it all?
Why can't you see what I need you to see?
Why can't you understand what I'm telling you?

What's the use of lying?
What's the use of sighing and crying?
What's the use of being here
If you're never gonna know
What you mean to me?

What's the use of lying?
What's the use of sighing and crying?
What's the use of being here
If you're never gonna know
What you mean to me?

What you mean to me...
