for you being the only one i have to count on
you sure aren’t really there for me lately

maybe my everything isn’t enough for you
and that’s not your fault

but before you count all the things i couldn’t give you
don’t forget the times you took advantage of me too
i hope i’m enough for someone one day

i hate it when you look at me
like you don’t think i’m weird
like you’re seeing the real me
and it doesn’t scare you

but that scares me

it seems i do this to myself again and again
an inevitable desire for something i can’t have
this time, it’s you and your eyes
the ones that radiate rich, golden rays
and pierce my skin but i can’t look away
i wish you wouldn’t look away

I’m not easily broken, but you really cut me down a notch. You led me up a tall cliff with the "I love you’s" and the "what would I do without you’s" and then you pushed me off the edge. I didn’t even have time to catch my breath as I watched you shrink away. Now here I am back at the bottom, in a pit of broken trust and low expectations. Another hole punched in my paper heart.

Lately I just want to be alone and curl up into a big sad ball, but even a ball could roll out of bed. So I guess I’m more like a sad puddle that most people avoid until they step on me and suddenly it’s my fault they weren’t paying attention. That’s what it seems like anyway. Like I’ll always be in the way and all I give will never be enough.

why do i feel so empty no matter what i do
i’ve become a hopeless void that endlessly consumes
and nothing satiates or seems to get me through
forever faced with a sense of impending doom

i wish i could be good enough for someone
i’ve been cracked and bruised by every hit and run
held together by a thread, i’m nearly coming undone
left to dangle lonely beneath a careless sun
