She broke my heart So I cried in my car so desperate for help But I would not ask I'm an Alpha Male Yes that is me I have tattoos and drink Whiskey I fight sometimes And stand up to *** Days went by My wrist scabbed over I pretended to be happy so my friends wouldn't see I'd go to bars but go home before too many I didn't want my guard down For them to see me vulnerable I'm an Alpha Male Yes that is me I have tattoos and drink Whiskey I fight sometimes And stand up to *** One night I lay awake bathing in tears She was the only one I had talked to What if she told people I'm not the man I seemed And she told people of my own fragility How I felt alone and like I wasn't good enough How I hated myself and the emotions that controlled I'm an Alpha Male Yes that is me I have tattoos and drink Whiskey I fight sometimes And stand up to *** Well it was boiling over I wanted it to end life is not worth it I didn't want to go on I thought of my mother she'd never be the same I thought about my father losing his oldest son I thought of my brothers without a role model I thought of my friends and the loneliness they'd feel I picked up the phone and I called my best friend He answered the phone And I just broke down I'm an Alpha Male Yes that is me I get overwhelmed sometimes and can feel quite lonely I need help my dearest friends I'm much more fragile than what you see

So Manly
You see I didn't love her Because she made me happy I loved her because she made me Irate Annoyed Elated Adventurous Exhilarated Impassioned And everything in between I loved her because she made me REAL

Reality
I love the way she sleeps And I can tell when she dreams I wonder what she dreams about Does she dream of Paris and Rose? Does she dream of movie nights in her favorite hoodie? Does she ever dream of me? Or Does she dream of other things? Does she dream of other guys? Does she dream of better than me? Does she dream of freedom? Because she feels tied down to me? Does she dream I'm not good enough for her? As I've long suspected to be true Does she dream of leaving me? Does she dream of cheap hookups and thrills? She told me I was crazy, she didn't dream of abandoning me But she did.

Her Dream My Nightmare
You were right She broke my heart and now I'm broken But you're wrong I don't wish I never met her Because those moments looking in her hazel eyes make this pain worth every single second

So What
When I quit smoking I always wanted a cig I would crave one with every bone in my body And then one day I just didn't anymore I hope I have as much luck getting over you

You and Cigarettes
I know we've never been "together." I know you said to move on. I tried to be fine with wading this weather, But the love in my heart still tells me it's wrong. Now, I'm not saying I'm resentful, But you did treat me like I was special. Lately has been so uneventful. And I'm starting to think this isn't a game... I get a little jealous when you look at other girls. I know we're not together, but... You are my whole world. I get a little jealous when you talk about them too. It's because we're not together, but... You told me that you liked me... You told me that you do. Now, I'm not trying to be weird, but call me, I'd give you my time. Actually, I'd give you everything, cuz I just want you to be mine. When I got too lonely, I'd just stare at your photos-- Soundless replacements for you, who knows. You said I'm obsessive—come on now, don't play. You like it when I'm open, you preferred me this way. You said we'd be great together, don't think I forgot. I cherish every sweet thing you said, so my heart doesn't rot. Now I've deleted all of your things, cuz I can't bear to see your face. My prized possessions... I should've given you space. Why wouldn't you make me yours, like you wanted to? Now we're apart, now we'll both just be blue. And now I regret this—now I really do. True, I'm a little weird, but we're both crazy. I know what you're afraid of; I know it isn't me.

I get a little jealous.
I love my bed Nobody can hurt me here I'll bundle in blankets and watch movies of love that I'll never have and I don't have to put up walls because they're already around me and I might not feel good but at least I don't feel bad
