You don't know how hard I fought for you
How I defended you from my best friend saying that I am happy with you and that you are different
How I told my sister that you were worth it, that I liked you
How I told my mom that you were good for me, that you are have grown on me
How I told other people that you are not like what others say; that you were better
How I understood you at your worst
How I was there whenever you need me
How I forgave you because I can't lose you
And how I stayed away from the things that could make you jealous

I'm sorry if something went wrong
If my happy self hid itself for a while and you had to see me at my dimmest light
I'm sorry if I couldn't make you hold on
I'm sorry if you got tired
But I guess if you were genuine no matter what, you still could have– we still could have stood still no matter what
