crack of the door
you don't love me anymore
at first i couldn't take it
but now i see this for what it is
not for what it was
a need for intimacy traded for lust
no wonder i was disappointed

but i got what i asked for didn't i
careful for what you wish for right
i'm learning as i go i guess
just gonna slip out quietly
while you're not thinking about me
which is easy because that's all the ******* time

you won't really miss me at all
just confused by a wall
when you're used to having what you want
you don't miss me like you think you do
at least you'll still be my muse
until i let someone else break me

sure you said you're sorry but you didn't mean it
you apologize when its convenient
when you need something you can't just take
the first time i thought you really changed
after the fifteenth cycle i think its safe
to say you're only accountable when it benefits you
all night
i lie
on my back watching stars
and to myself

dark sky
dull eyes
it's the way i hate my heart
for refusing help

feel trapped
know that
i'm losing all hope
in finding a savior

fell back
collapsed
blood stings the back of my throat
raw from prayer
a love letter to my soul
an apology for my heart
the general consensus
that i'm bound to fall apart
i tried to stay together
but i melted through the cracks
i'm sorry i couldn't be strong
but it's too late to take it back
i'm soaked through and invisible
run through your fingers like honey
let me slip on out
and get far away from me
you don't wanna get stuck
trust me i know
just let me remain broken
been better on my own
it's when people like you get involved
that everything goes wrong
i'm not worth the effort apparently
so just keep carrying on
tired of praying you'll remember me
and hoping you'll be who you said
hypnotized too long by how things were
woke up crying in my bed
i lost something through this
refuse to lose any more
i'm tired of being outside
waiting for you to open the door
tired of being cold
because you left me alone
sick of you reaching out
once i'm comfortable on my own

so i'm locking you out
like you did me
it's not right
but its necessary
it *****, doesn't it
but what else can i do
you're just now finding out
what its like being 'loved' by you
if i was more

i'd be worth it
but i'm not
and that's why you don't care
don't say thats not true
because if i was enough
i wouldn't have to force you to open the door
i wouldn't have to beg you to move the last inch
after i covered the mile
i wouldn't pray to have a chance
if i was more

i wouldn't need to ask for chances
you'd throw them at me
unconditionally
i wish i could be more

but i'm not
and that's why you won't love me
i could cry
but i don't wanna do that to myself
been hurt for a while
been without your help
so don't offer it now
you're too late to fix this issue
past the withdrawal
glad this time to miss you
i spent too much time waiting
feeling wrong for being insecure
you apologized then did it again
you're the one who's unsure
i tried and it killed me
if you wanted to you would
don't want me to leave
but won't do any good
won't meet me in the middle
won't even open the door
when i've closed the distance by myself
you won't be bothered anymore
you can trust me on that
you do so much for me
but i hate you
i mistreat you
i withhold care
i punish you
for being tired
when you give me your all
i spit on you
for not being what i want
you do your best
and i still hate you
i'm sorry
i can't love you as you are
