so much potential
where did it go
you had all the plans
but ignored what you wrote
all laid out
yellow brick road
now you're nobody
in a stranger's home
living empty days
falling on a flat note
lost everything
can barely trust what you know
is this even making sense
at this point who knows
it was meant to be a little fun
now i've gone and said too much
when the liquor started pouring
so did all the feelings i've kept bottled up
those are the thoughts i've been having
i'm sorry if they scare you honey
or if it's shocking to hear this
coming directly from me
oh he knows
yeah he definitely knows
he's only ever heard that once before
when it jumped out of my throat
and it crawled under his skin
where it still lives
i'm happy he's uncomfortable
he shouldn't be able to live with it
maybe you can hurt me
but you can't cut as deep
i press into the wound
all you do is squeam
if you're gonna do it
gotta commit to it
otherwise just leave me alone
i can make things worse just fine on my own
i wanna be better
to deserve what i already own
you seek a higher level
to upgrade your goals
that's the major difference
between us both
i've wanted you all along
yet someday i'll be outgrown
the pieces of me
my dichotomies
don't fit pretty
or at all

clashing next to each other
mustard and peanut butter
different mothers
must be my fault

that i can't be one thing
or the same version of me
for every person i meet
like a doll

just a cess pool of thought
pandora's box
i am and i'm not
the rise and fall
you have to love both of us
don't wanna be a bother
or impeach on your time
i'm nobody special
and it's easier to hide
but you say it's okay
i'm not too bad for now
i wanna feel safe
you tell me to stick around
how long does that last
until you get bored
when you've got your attention
and don't need me anymore
because i'm tired of being broken
to make people feel whole
i try my best to help
but i'm just cast to fill a role
because she's not here
but when she comes back
we'll be strangers again
i'd bet a pretty dime on that
