like those who came before you
i tried to give you all i had and more
i had lived to make you happy
and still like the others you walked out the door

despite all you have done for me
i am terribly unhappy
and for that i am sorry

But do you feel the way that i do?
Do you mean it when you say i love you?
Cuz X's and O's on a paper could be fake ,
and baby i hope i didn't make a mistake.

I am a star in the simple sense
that from afar I look alive and bright,
so I beg you not to come closer
I don't want you to know im dead inside

they rustle their books and school bags
a desperate plea to teachers to let them be free
free from this prison
where mistakes and judgement shackle you

Those kind words you so rarely gave me
could keep me warmer in winter
than any blanket could

Turn over a new leaf they say,
I laugh because they act as if change is easy,
as if leaving you is simple because you hurt me
they call me a fool for staying
but they do not understand I cannot let go
