Just because I'm often grinning
Doesn't mean I'm always happy
Laughing, forgiving, or caring.
Just because I'm understanding
Doesn't mean I care to listen,
Or not be told.
Just because I'm bad at something
Doesn't mean I can do better,
Want to do better,
Or can't get better.
Just because I might be respectful
Doesn't mean I like you,
Want to know you,
Or want to meet up with you.
Just because I'm rude or mean
Doesn't mean you can't tell me.
Doesn't mean "I don't care."
