Don't light yourself on fire trying to brighten someones existence.

I almost did, give him another chance
I almost caved in, to what he wanted
I almost made, the same mistake again
I almost did, love him again.

In between these almost,
between loving him and losing myself again
I chose not to give in,
chose not to love him.

Months have passed, I won't give up
All these months, building up myself
You came back, tried to tear up these walls
I did not let you in, I won't let you.

I'm sorry, I almost did, give you another second chance
I'm sorry, it won't work anymore
No matter how you try, I will not go back
I will not go back, to what broke me.

I love how she fiddles
with his frantic head
singing sweet symphonies
through times when needed

You can’t love someone truly, unless you love yourself first.
