Showing I Care
I wanted to show how much I care So I sat and listened to you talk But I didn't respond or react So you thought I wasn't paying attention
I tried again and again I smiled when you made a joke But I got it wrong again Because you weren't joking
I tried asking about something you'd said I was sure I'd gotten it right But you'd already told me the answer I just hadn't been paying attention
I want to listen I'm just not very good at it But I will keep trying to show that I care
