I Can Only Hope

I can only hope that you see I’m right
No one can force you
I can only hope that you understand
But no one can make you do that either
I wish that I could make you see me through
No one can though
Bribery maybe, threat
I won’t do that to you
I’m not that type of person
I can only hope that you will someday see
That you are blind now
Your life will be clearer
If you listen to me
But I can’t force you
No one can totally force you
There is only influence
I have no idea if you are ever even paying attention to me
I can’t tell
I like to talk to someone when I am bored
I used to like talking to you
You were fun to talk to
But I guess that your good side comes and goes
I understand, or at least I thought I did
Now I don’t and I can’t tell you how I feel
Because I am afraid
You scare me with your forceful words
I feel crappy every time I think about you
I’m not sulking
I’m not trying to make you feel bad
I just want you to see
And I can only hope that someday you will see
And you will understand
And that you will see me through
I can only hope that someday you will truly see the real me
But for now
A girl can have dreams
A girl can wish
A girl can hope
But I guess that I will be hoping, and wishing, and dreaming
For a real long time to come
Because you won’t listen
I can only hope
