Echo

Tell me the truth you say
What do you think you ask
How can I tell you all I
Want is for you to like me
I have no idea what to say in
Social situations
So I end up staring at everyone
Anyone who makes noise
My head rapidly turning to the loudest
Most interesting sound track
While you want me to initiate conversation
Make you sure I actually want to talk
Want to be here with you
I feel like Echo before she was cursed
Only talking once engaged
My mind is so fickle
My opinions rapidly change to support
Your views
To be like you
All I want is you to like me
To want me back again and again
I joke
I complain
Whatever will make you look at me
Maybe nod approvingly
I want to make you laugh
I watch you
I wonder what you want from me
What would make you be my friend
Come running to me
Be bursting with a story to tell me
What would make you love me like that
And you look at me briefly
Already bored
You turn away to talk to a
More interesting voice box
I watch you both as you paint the walls
With your passions and
Argumentative melodies
Wishing that you'd both love me
