You strip me down to the core.
Force me to resurface painful secrets.
Pressure me to empty my mind to you.
You scrape out my heart while it beats.
You may as while dissect me while I breath.
Then you have the audacity to tell me I hurt you.

If a life breaks it will take a while to fix.
if you can ever fix it.
The pieces are sharp,
and the blood is thick

At the end of the day, no matter what, I find my mascara smudged.
Whether it be from tears of sorrow or joy.
After a great day, when I feel there is nothing wrong in the world, my mascara is smudged.
After a day so bad it makes me question my will to live, my mascara is smudged.
No matter what it looks like someone could be going through something completely different than what you think.

I need you to just stop,
Go away,
Don't look at me with those big brown eyes,
I need some time,
Please, you're going to make me cry,
I know how it feels to be on you're end of the bad news,
I'm trying to hold back from old patterns,
but you're difficult to forget.

This isn't a storybook,
Don't stay when I say to leave,
Don't wipe the the tears you caused from my face.
I don't need to be saved.
Don't expect a fairy tale ending,
If I say its over, it's over.
When it's done, it's done.
This isn't going to be a happy ending.

I loved you as one loves their significant other,
But I see you different now.
I can’t deny you’re the perfect piece to my perfect puzzle,
But I can’t love you romantically...
I hope you’re okay when I say I can only love you as a brother.

I know you sacrifice your happiness to get me to trust you,
I know you will give up someday,
I know you hate this whole situation,
I know this hurts you, that I hurt you.

If I could just wake up and start trusting people again I would,
If I could see the world the way you see it I would,
If I could just trust you I would.
I don’t think you realize how much it hurts me to know how you feel,
And that you would ever give up on me,
It hurts like hell to know I’m hurting you and I can’t do anything about it,
But what about me?
I have been through hell and back,
Forgive me if I can’t trust you,
Forgive me if I can’t forget what I’ve been through.
I’m already hurting and your not helping.
All I can think about is how much I hurt you.
Are you thinking about me?
What About Me?
