No matter how many times you ask
You get told no
No matter how many times you ask
Nothing can be done because of a technicality
No matter how many times you ask
The answer is always the same
No matter how many times you ask
You keep getting told to ask someone else
No matter how many times you ask
You ask anyway
And then you start fearing the answer
Because it’ll more than likely be a no
Despite needing help
Despite needing answers
Despite knowing you can’t stay living with the way things are
Despite knowing what will happen if things don’t change
Despite the needing to find a way out
You keep asking
But you become fearful of the answer
Because if you stay, it’ll only get worse
But you ask anyway
Because staying isn’t an option
Despite fearing the no
I am very aware of what the problem is
I am very well aware of what got us here
I am very well aware that we need out
But when nobody wants to believe you
You keep asking anyway
Despite fearing the answer
