They told me I was selfish Cause I had a bullet pressed to my head With my name on it They told me I was selfish Cause I had a knife pressed against my thigh They told me I was selfish Cause my legs were bleeding And I was screaming They told my I was selfish Cause my heart wouldn't stop hurting They told me I was selfish Cause my bones were aching They told me I was selfish Cause my note said I was leaving They told me I was selfish Cause they begged me to stay They told me I was selfish Cause I needed to go away They told me I was selfish

Selfish
As I grow older, many will envy my good memory If I could give my memories away I would But I'm drinking too much to try to release them Instead, I'm crouched over the toilet and they've made a home in my throat And all that is coming up is ***** and tears

Forgetting
Someone said when faced with a decision always take the hardest one because that is the one that will help you grow But why would I pick the stubborn, drug addict boy When I could go with the boy who is smart and truly cares about me? Why would I go out with these girls who don't care, When I could be at home watching tv with my mother? I could tell you said it, but it wouldn't be relevant because yes, I'm growing, but into a person I despise.

Growth
You've taught me alot, but the most important thing you had to teach me was that when i am drowning no one is going to be there to save me to pull me to surface air I must save myself my lungs will eventually fill with the water which is keeping me under and while my lungs fill, I'll drown in my own damp misery as you sit and you watch with a grin on your face you do not reach a  hand out you sit still, you take in my every **** squirm, gasp for air as i feel my body Giving out i'll build the strength which you have given me by sitting, watching me drown I'll surface my own body I'll breath my own air For I have learned to live without you dear

For him
I waited three days In hopes that your love Would resurrect like Jesus did But you're not strong enough To move the boulder Covering your heart. And I'm not strong enough To be Mary and wait for you.

Bible Study
The underneath of my eyelids show your jet black hair and your band t-shirts. My brain produces your voice like a fire alarm, but I can't get out. You called me your little dear, but I was a fool to think you picked this animal in an exotic jungle.

Jungle
I hope she fits in the spaces you spent so much time putting between us. I hope her lips taste like candy and they replace to addiction to cigarettes. I hope she pulls out the best in you even when you feel like the devil himself. I hope that you don't say the same things to her you said to me. I hope you love her a little less than you did with me.

Selfish
Music is supposed to make us feel happy, so why is it that whenever I click shuffle I have to skip songs in order to not cry because they all have you in them?

Irony
And I'm lacking all affection Even though you believe we have a connection I can't take it back I feel like I'm under attack I didn't imagine it this way So now here I lay with my mirrors facing down because looking at myself I frown I'm not me anymore I just feel like an easy *****

You're Not the One
Your words removed the straps from my shirt and they unhinged the clasp to my bra. Your rough and frigid hands glide over my chest and I couldn't help but blush. I told you you weren't supposed to be doing this. You told me, she did it too, why can't I? My chapped lips were wetted by you. But now my eyes can't see to become dry either. You're actions forced me out of that car And baby, I ain't ever coming back.
