A pebble can feel like a boulder if it’s stuck in your shoe all day
And im sitting here wondering why you make me feel this way
Why I feel like a boulder so big and in your way
When im a pebble im placid and sway.

I wish you understood me I wish you listened more
don’t you get that I love you it’s you who I adore
you think it’s too much but I keep giving more and more

A boulder in your shoe would certainly make you sore, so why do you act like talking to me is some great big chore?

It would give it a little caesura, like how your day and mood gets off track

Also I feel if the last line is like split off from the last para it has more affect

I'm sorry if I'm overstepping by proposing these changes
I'm new here and not sure what the etiquette is for everything
