Sometimes I was the one responsible for your tears
Sometimes you were responsible for my tears
Sometimes I was the blame for the pain you suffered
Sometimes you were the blame for the love that was never discovered
I wish you were the one losing sleep over the love you lost
I wish you were the one losing focus to what was more than a thought
I’m the one who’s supposed to cry, I’m the one who’s supposed to be broken
You wanted Foreverness, I gave you eternality
Tried building us up but you pulled us down like gravity
You’re bringing up mistakes I made to tarnish what we established
Trying to perfect a game plan that was never practiced
We put each other in this space to which we don’t wanna be
I was hoping to marry your love but you didn’t see a future with me
From blowing each other up to missed calls & unread texts
Pushing you away due to a broken heart that I’m trying to protect
You didn’t trust someone like me, I was too good to be true
I’m watching you walk away while falling deeper in love with you
I wish you could believe me when I say crying isn’t easy to do
Especially when the tears I shed are because of you

Standing near a dirt road out in Nowhere,
I'm looking for a way to get back home
This tiny town is nothing but a nightmare
I feel the evil deep within my bones

From fear, my bones all try to leave my body
My skeleton just flees from in my skin
The stench within this place is so ungodly
Perhaps, I should have never wandered in

Without my bones, I'm stuck flapping in the wind
Without my skull, my brain just turns to mush
All my patience left has now been thinned
To send me over needs just one more push

My blood all pours away into a small stream
My skin just rots by the side of the road
I blew away with dirt as light as a dream
While the rest of my thoughts quickly overflowed
Who knows?

Instead of kisses you just feed me anger
In place of love you give me teary eyes
Instead of smiles, we fight and hate each other
Living inside denial and disguise

I can't make love, instead I ******* over
You can't pretend that you don't care at all
We can't keep doing this while we are sober
When I am drunk, I've got way bigger *****

If you can't say my name, I understand this
If you can't look at me, I won't get mad
But I just miss the times without emptiness
I long for days when your heart I still had

My brain is full of clutter like the attic of a house
And it needs a decent cleaning, it's more filthy than a mouse
It's disorganized beyond belief and things are hard to find
But there are countless, endless ideas inside of my mind

When I talk to "normal" people who are "average" and "plain"
There are nails on a chalkboard that scrape the inside of my brain
I can't relate to sports and church and midday shopping sprees
I'm bored by most things people like, I'm difficult to please

I don't think people get me, and I wander 'bout alone
I'm naked on the outside and honest to the bone
I'm not ashamed of anything, and I just say it all
I know that I freak people out with my huge set of *****

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
