You tell me you love me
like it's what I need to hear
when reality sinks me
and my cries fall on deaf ears
You tell me you love me
when hatred spills from your lips
who i am sinks further down
until all that's left is my bleeding skin
You tell me you love me
as you pick up more soil
burying who I am as a person
while you deftly toil
You tell me you love me
but I'll never be the same
how can you love someone
when you've erased their entire being?

You tell me you love me
like it's what I need to hear
when reality sinks me
and my cries fall on deaf ears
You tell me you love me
when hatred spills from your lips
who i am sinks further down
until all that's left is my bleeding skin
You tell me you love me
as you pick up more soil
burying who I am as a person
while you deftly toil
You tell me you love me
but I'll never be the same
how can you love someone
when you've erased their entire being?
