Cryptic (Keeping Score)

Everything has a reason
Every action has a meaning
I don't just do it cause I bore
Not a game but I'm keeping score

Of every word and look and thought
I analyse them till you're caught
Caught off-guard, you didn't realise
And it came as quite a surprise

That I would notice you weren't there
But then not act as if I care
When inside my heart is breaking
But I dare not show the aching

I'm insecure to the bone
I do not want to be alone
With every word and thought and look
I cannot be read like a book

This was the story all along
You cannot ever prove me wrong
Of anything I've ever done
The game is over. Who has won?

Every action has a reason
And everything has a meaning
The total is the sum of all
Things in our lives. I'm keeping score.
