"I couldn't be more happy"
Things were going so well
No warning signs
No way to tell

You held my hand tight
I held yours tighter
I was blinded by my own happiness
Couldn't see that yours was slighter

"I couldn't be more upset"
I never had a clue
Everything on my body hurts
How am I supposed to press on without you?

He looks at her
She looks at him
While you long for her
I long for you
They want each other
You want her
But the only thing I'll ever want is
You.

I have to tell you that I'm joking
So that you won't start to shy away
I can't talk about my feelings
If I want you to stay

The thing is:
This isn't really working
It's almost like you're not even here
I can't keep pretending
I can't keep living my life in fear.

It hurts to feel unwanted-
To feel forgotten
Do you realize what you've done?

I'm hurting, feeling alone
And yet, there you are
Having fun.

Do you not care anymore?
Could I have said something wrong?
Or is it just a lack of time?

Everything hurts
I just want to be a part of your life
I wish you wanted to be a part of mine.

I'm terrified of leaving.

I really want to go.

I don't want to leave you either.

"Look for my footprints in the snow."

I had low expectations
I was prepared to go down
But you weren't an anchor
And I didn't drown.
Brittani Dec 2012
I'm exhausted
I can't move
I can't breathe
I'm too tired to sleep
I'm too tired to do anything at all

Please
Please tell me this will all be over soon
Please tell me that this isn't permanent

You can't, so you don't.
