It isn't easy
To love myself again
If all I hear
Are more reasons
Convincing me that I'm
Worthless

I can't change
Back to who I was
To who I want to be
When I'm being held by memories
That you can't seem to
Let me forget

I make mistakes
A lot
Because I learn the hard way
I wish my best friend
Could accept me
But maybe I've done too much
Taken it too far
Maybe there's no
Turning back

You held me in your arms again last night
And I swear
I've never felt more
At home

I wonder if it makes you stronger
To make me weak
Do you get those muscles
From my lack of
Dignity?
You pull your power
From my weary heart
Because I am
An inexhaustible source
Drain my soul
And I'll still be here
Begging for you to
Come back

when i had a voice
i could scream the emotions
out from my tattered lungs
beat my vocal chords to death
with apologies and pleading
stain my broken lips
with vengeance and promises
i knew i couldn't keep

but my voice only brought
destruction
and chaos
shattering the world around me
leaving stains in souls
and holes in innocence

it is easier to be silent
to hold my monstrous tongue
behind solemn lips
while the truth rages on inside
behind my cold eyes
my lips are sealed
and so is my word

We set fire to each other
Burning from the inside
Destroying what we have left
To give each other
But we smolder together
Every touch brings more heat
You pour lava down my spine
I light the fire in your belly
Our passion burns brighter
Than any star could ever dream

You lit me from within
And only you can tend to
The fire
This flame will only burn
As long as we acknowledge it
My volcanic heart is pulsing
If we both erupt
There may be no fixing
The damage

If you had her
You would not need me
To remind you
Of all the sweet memories
The passion we had

You'd be making new memories
Maybe you're thinking
Of her
While you're looking
At me

Because you know
What I will give you
But it isn't me
You want it from
