Broken

I wish that someone
Could understand
That I'm not what I seem to be
Though I have many friends, I am no one's friend
That's not how they think of me.

Who can know
Who understands
That I'm not what I seem to be?
If I could create a hundred thoughts,
Would you give a thought to me?

And if a thought
What then, no more?
Am I not who you thought I'd be?
If I could create a thousand dreams
Would then you dream of me?

And if a dream
What then, my friend?
Is that what I'll always be?
If I could write ten thousand songs
Would then you sing for me?

Oh understand, 
Must I always plead
Through thoughts and songs and dreams?
If I cry a hundred thousand tears
Would you cry one for me?

<Sigh> I must go
Good bye my friends
One thought before I leave.
I gave you tears and songs and dreams
But what gave you to me?
