All I Do

I lie through my teeth

Say I understand your belief

I am tired of hearing your problems

And yet I never say no

That is my problem

I am tired of you



I say I care about you

And I really do

But I can’t listen anymore

You will have problems forevermore

And I will hear you

Because that’s all I do



I guess that’s my weakness

Caring for everyone’s happiness

But I can’t help it

That’s who I am

So I will sit

And listen to your problem



You guys broke up

I need you to stop tearing up

I comfort you

As you spill your pain

I listen to you

Until you become sane



Your parents are silent

You hate this treatment

So I listen

As you tell

Just how fucking

Quickly your life fell



You can’t stop

You’re addicted

You want to stop

But home is fucked

So you continue

I’m gonna kill ya!



I pretend to be okay

Shove my pain away

You are important

That’s why I stand it.

Listen forever

That’s my endeavor



You hate school

It’s not cool

You say to my face

You miss the old pace

You miss your friends

Like you have no friends?



You have no reason

You like the feelin’

I give up

You’re all messed up

I must have the perfect life

I must have no strife



Well fuck that

My life’s not perfect

I have my problems

I have your problems

I must be destined to

Live my life through

Pain and suffering

Anger and crying

I’m sick of the feeling

I am your battering ram



I lie through my teeth

Say I understand your belief

I am tired of hearing your problems

And yet I never say no

That is my problem

I am tired of you



I say I care about you

And I really do

But I can’t listen anymore

You will have problems forevermore

And I will hear you

Because that’s all I do

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I would like to explain that some of the stanzas in this are aimed at specific people but most of them are aimed at a bunch of my friends some of whom I haven't seen in years.
