Why do I stay?

Real tired
Running on a few hours of sleep
Been awake for hours
But you can’t seem to find me
Just letting you know that
I’m not listening at what you’re trying to say.
I know about her
That other girl. You can’t keep your hands off of her.
So Why Do I stay?
Because I could never bear to break someone’s heart
And I know today
Is not the day I’m going to start
I don’t have the courage to change you
But maybe you will change your mind
But everybody else keeps wondering
How you got me to stay
It’s because I can’t go my own way.
Real depressed
Now that I know your heart’s not with me.
Been crying for hours
But no one seems to hear me.
Just trying to take away the pain
Just wondering if you ever felt the same
So why did I stay.
Because I could never bare to break someone’s heart
And today’s is not the day
I’m not going to start
I don’t have the courage to change you
But maybe you will change your mind
How did you get me to stay?
I can’t even bare to think about the pain
I love you but you hurt me
Did you ever really care?
I found you and you choose to
Desert me I need a guy who cares
Together we could have been great
But you just lost your chance.
Just leave and get out
Before I make my advance.
But why do I stay
Because I could never bare to break somebody’s heart
And today’s is the day
That I am choosing to start!

Do you ever feel like maybe you should give up on something or someone? Well if you do that is what inspired me to write this poem.
