A/N: this just sort of flowed out of the end of my pen a few nights ago, and I thought it should go up just for my own self-gratification--I'm really proud of this one!!
But this is ultimately a song I wrote from a Jareth perspective yet not necessarily inspired from the movie. It's what I'm sure any man would feel if they had been in his position: in love and waiting for some sort of acknowledgment, and then getting it but so bitter and angry that they say things they don't mean.
Anyway, hope that you like, so review if you please.

Everything you know

Everything, everything, everything
amounts to nothing, yeah, nothing

Yeah, wishing
You're wishing for a light to guide you
knowing what you'll see isn't pretty yet wanting it all the same

(I'm tired of waiting
Yeah, tired of waiting
I'm tired of waiting for the acknowledgment I don't need
hoping for something to send me tumbling down to underground
Yeah, I'm tired of waiting, love)

Everything, yes, everything I've done

Everything, everything, everything, everything
has now come to mean nothing, nothing, nothing to me
