Not You

So why do you ?try?
Not time, no way, no chance
So why do you try?
No not you, no not me, so what'll it be?

Fixing, improving upon finished projects,
The art of your brain resists change, letting out sigh after sigh
Strong and impassioned while side-stepping confrontation
The armor of your eyes reflects mental tears
Refusing to cry

I'd like to care and I think I do
But I want to know that what you're saying to me is true
Slanted looks and gestures don't fit what you claim
Words from your mouth translate that your don't have a clue
