You Never Really Tried

I watch the ceiling shake and
I hear the steps you take across the hardwood
Dust falling to the floor, heart sinking down as your
Halfway down the staircase
And here comes that feeling in the pit of my stomach, it's too familiar
Knock on the door, then instantly open
How did you figure? (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
You say you love me, that I can be myself
But when you talk your shit, you gotta know that it's a hard sell
Cause I'm just like them, yeah don't you know by now?
But you never really tried to know me anyhow
(Maybe you could, Do you think you should?, I wish you would, ooh ooh)
Watching TV with you
Ad for depression, you say "I'm glad you never dealt with that"
If I knew how to talk to you, I'd say it isn't true
But what would you say back? (What would you say to me?)
It shouldn't matter, but I just get madder when you assume like that
Possibly oblivion, maybe you're just living in the past
(Maybe I am too, just as stuck as you)
You say you love me, that I can be myself
But when you talk your shit, you gotta know that it's a hard sell
Cause I'm just like them, yeah don't you know by now?
But you never really tried to know me anyhow
Guess no advice works
Each time you disregard me it hurts
Do you think you're trying your hardest?
Feels like you're pushing us farther and farther apart
You say you love me, that I can be myself
But when you talk your shit, you gotta know that it's a hard sell
Cause I'm just like them, yeah don't you know by now?
But you never really tried to know me anyhow
