i tried to offer my deepest condolences to you because it was all you'd ever done for me in the past
i realize now that sometimes the people you love the most don't understand that you care about them in such a selfless way
maybe they never loved me in the first place
i guess i understand

i'm afraid sometimes that my brain has a big hole in it
a space where i should connect my experiences with happiness and smiles
instead i feel like i'm not inside my body
when you kiss my skin
someone, somewhere else
gets a little tingle in their bones

i'm the kind of person
who never asks for help
i don't ever need anyone else
i know i've got myself
i'm the type of person
who will say that i'm okay
that i'm fine
there are no worries
but i long for someone else
the problem with letting someone in
is that they never even know
when you've opened up the gate
and it all just overflows

You say you're not interested in trends
That the only true poets have long been gone
Who are you to determine
Whether or not
The ache of my heart is worthy of your attention
Press your nose back in a book
It won't hurt you like I will

i think that maybe i messed up
i don't know if it was something i said
or didn't say
something i did
forgot to do
i'm not really sure exactly where i went wrong
somewhere along the line
i must've
i just wish you were around still to show me

i'm the girl who you hate to love
you love to hate
same as above
i'm the one who laughs real loud
loses track of time
lost in a crowd
i'm the girl who breaks a heart
gets my heart broken
right from the start
i'm the one who never sees the way things are
at least i'll remember you by a scar
