See my face
Coated in tears
Like how the rain paints the sidewalk
Only know that I tried
No matter how insignificant my attempts appear
An abomination to most
But my heart pure
I roll myself out to allow others to dry their shoes
A ***** old rug after time
with each boot leaving its imprint
Drop a match on my gasoline soaked skin to keep you warm
Watch the flames dance and my eyes turn gray,
but my smile untampered
Out of everyone, I thought you'd understand
But time after time
I realize I'm just letting myself down

See my face
Coated in tears
Like how the rain paints the sidewalk
Only know that I tried
No matter how insignificant my attempts appear
An abomination to most
But my heart pure
I roll myself out to allow others to dry their shoes
A ***** old rug after time
with each boot leaving its imprint
Drop a match on my gasoline soaked skin to keep you warm
Watch the flames dance and my eyes turn gray,
but my smile untampered
Out of everyone, I thought you'd understand
But time after time
I realize I'm just letting myself down
My mother always says that people will always let you down and high expectations are the death of you, you think after some time I'd listen
