Deep down, she knew
It would never work...
But she was comfortable.
Reaping all the perks...
She just stayed with me.
So it wouldn't hurt...
Steady banking my love
While I put in work...
-
I was far too emotional,
She took advantage.
She was largely unsociable,
But I could manage.
It was all about
How good
I could
Control the damage.
She folded up my heart
Cut me apart
Just like a sandwich.
-
I used to wonder
Why she stayed with me?
Pulled me apart,
Just after dark,
She fucking played with me.
I used to think
Without a link
That I could wait and see.
Maybe if I waited longer
Someday she'd love me.
-
That someday she would see
A different side of me...
Another face of him.
A different path for me...
I meant a path for us.
Another face of me...
But what I found
Is you can't love
The hurt out of somebody...
-
And she
Wanted an absentee
Lover
But that wasn't me.
I was far too present
She was used
To waiting silently.
-
So when I tried to help
And pull
She pushed away from me
Blatantly
Hurting me
While I waited there
Patiently.
-
All the halls and walls
Were hers.
I told her that,
But she never did listen.
She didn't want to.
I know those tears
Steady glisten.
I know it haunts you.
All those pits and falls,
I know they have to daunt you.
I tried my best
To heal and help
And flaunt you.
But you can't
Lead someone to love,
They have to want you...
