I will no longer be a prisoner of heartache
that is caused by you.
I can see that you're giving up on me already
and that's okay.
You were a catalog of mistakes.
I just hope that one day
your heart learns to feel love in it's purest form.

I'm always someone's second choice.
someone's last resort.
I will never be their first thought,
or even their third.
I'm just in the background,
waiting to be called
to the spotlight,
but never getting
the chance
to shine.

One sided expectations can destroy you mentally
they can can destroy you like fire destroys a house

you expect so much from a person
only to be disappointed again

but you only see the good in them
so you expect more
only to be let down
and broken.

Hey, You
                                    absolutely gorgeous thing
Don't you know
                                    every guy is gonna want you?
                    
                    That's what I think is gonna happen.

You're always right
                                      I don't know everything about you.
But sometimes I think that
                                      You might not know a lot about me
        
                     Either.

Hey, You
                                     absolutely troubled thing
Everything is gonna be just fine
                                                                Right?

Hey, You
                                      Please answer me
You're gonna be okay. It's not the end.
                                                                        Right?

Hey, You... You're not gonna forget me?
                                       Even after all of the small things we did?
I know that they don't mean much to you, but
                                       it did to me

Sorry you didn't see it the same way. But, it was still nice.

Hey... You know that I'll always be there for You

                        for You
                                                                   for You

                                             For You

you hold my
paper heart
in your hand

please
don't
crumble
it.
