Can't Love Make Us Happy?

is my love not enough
for you to be happy
don't i care enough
for you to feel safe

why is it
that you listen to strangers
but not to
the person who loves you the most

i know i have faults
but i'm trying
to correct them
and to be perfect for you

it kills me to see you
like this
whatever i seem to do
makes things worse

sometimes it's hard
i'm caught in the middle
trying to satisfy the ones i love
end up doing the opposite
