I'm not gonna find you in the bottom of this bottle
Im not gonna see your face in this puff of smoke
So why am I on this downward spiral
I will always love you
Even if you're far away
When your heart belongs to another
What if I told you that girl over there.
Yeah the one you just complimented on how skinny she's gotten.
What if I told you that that girl is staving.
Staving in so many ways.
Yes she is hungry. In the literal way and metaphorical way.
She is starving but it goes deeper than that.
She wants to be seen. She wants love. She wants life.
She wants happiness. She wants to be pretty. She wants the things you do.
Hell she doesnt know what it is she wants anymore.
Maybe she is just like you in away.
She cant even pinpoint when she decided this for herself.
Maybe it was the first compliment. The first time a guy looked at her.
The first time someone told her she was pretty.
She wanted to be prettier skinnier better.
She doesnt even realize she is living in hell, or maybe she does and doesnt care.
She wants all these things that much. That she doesnt care.
And you are "feeding" into that with every compliment, every look and every word.
She has made herself weak. Weak in so may ways.
Mentally and physically. Now look again. You see it now. Dont you?
You see the circles the tiredness in her eyes.
Now look again you see the sad the hurt and the pain.
Now look again you see that she is me. Now look again she could easily be you.
Map
All I have left are
Dead dreams and broken promises
They are lost at sea
No one can find them but me
I tried to draw you a map
To my heart
But you threw it away
Im all alone in this world
No one to share my tears
My love My pain
I have all these secrets
Parts no one will know again
I shared them before
Ive learned thats a mistake
They will leave
He will take his hammer and shatter your heart
Your secrets spilling out where everyone can see
Tears running down my cheeks
I saw your face
I didn't see pain in your eyes
Even though you were breaking my heart
I saw relief that you'd be rid of me
You never wanted anything serious
I guess it got to much for you
So you gave it up
And left me with my heart in my hands
So I had no other choice but to leave with a smile on my face
Despite all the bad you've done
How you treated me
All the tears I cried
The late nights with no sleep
I did everything I could to keep you
Yet you still left
What I gave wasn't enough
I gave you the world
I handed you my heart you could of had it forever
I was willing to do anything for you
I gave you all my love
I altered myself to be what you needed
I visited parts of myself I never would have without you
You love me
I love him
You're good for me
He is not
But my heart screams his name
Every night I see his face in my dreams
I try so hard to love you
And stop loving him
Something about the way he is
His voice his smile
It has my heart
And won't let it go
