Do not assume these words of hurt Are directed at you I have bared to you my heart and s… Yet our words remained withheld Do not assume these words of pain
This bed is too big I have too much space These blankets are too much Engulfing me, but I still shiver I have too much food
Help me to understand it Help open up my eyes I’m trying to move past it But I can’t seem to see why When we’re together
What I mistook for your warmth I now realize was actually a freez… You found me, built me up Then destroyed me You claim to care about me
It would be easier If I could hate you If you had so utterly decimated me That I couldn’t stand again It would be easier
I drank you in Like a fish Gasping for water Little did I know You were a shark
The longer I wait for you The more I prolong this pain The longer you wait to speak The more distant I become The more I heal
Because you brighten my day Even when the sun’s shining When I’m feeling down & fret You’re my silver lining Your warmth is like a buffet
There once was a man from Frederi… Who lost sight of his worth and me… But along she came, Then left just the same, And now his heart feels asymmetric…
This noose of hope Around my neck A memory rope Myself I wreck I cannot leave
You Your Your voice Echoes ghostly In the halls of my memories
I want to walk away I want this hope to stay I’m twisted and torn My promise, I’m sworn To see you again someday
Were your reasons true? Were they for me or for you? Was there really nothing we could… I wonder. Why was it easier to hide?
When we met You found me At my worst When we loved Time stood still
As the waves crash along the shore Which seems so far away, I ask myself; Why do I swim? Pushed from a ship
