She hasn't eaten in days 

her family wonders about her ways 

but they don't understand ..so they try the best they can 

to push it all away 



she hasn't spoken in days 

she lost her job that never pays 

as she tries to understand why she never found a man 

who wouldn't push her away 



she says everybody puts their faith in someone they cannot see 

yet I'm standing right here, you won't believe in me 



(Chorus) 

tell me what it takes so I don't feel fake 

and I'll try to be good for goodness sake 

All I ask from you is please don't push me away 



and I don't know what they have said to you 

while some of it just may be true 

I need some time, I'll be fine - don't push me away 



her mother was never there 

and her father never cared 

and the children understand that even they have their demands 

that just get pushed away 



she's hasn't smiled in thirty days 

since her father flew away 

and she tries to understand why he couldn't be a man 

and tell her that'd he stay 



-Bridge- 

go ahead, do what you may 

I've got nothing to say 

you've said it all before 

on your way out the door 

I can't keep losing you 

I can't keep going through 

the same thing every day 

go ahead..... push me away
