Him
Go ahead and block me out
Walk away, I understand
This sort of thing has happened before
And it will happen again
I won't cry this time because I know you already left
It's already been six months since our romance came to an end
But I so desperately wanted
To believe that this was it
That you could save me
That I would help you
But I just couldn't be Him.

Go ahead and lock me out
Of your life, like everyone does
I'll just focus on what is to come
Instead of what already was
I don't care this time because all I seem to be is a burden
Maybe this time you'll leave me alone with actions instead of just words
& about you being my Queen, well
I meant every last little bit
And I still wanna be your king
But I know I'll never be Him.

I'll never be Prince Charming,
or a Knight in Shining Armor
and I'm not looking for a Princess
(or even a monogamous partner)
I'm no hero, I'm no saint
I may even be born for sin
So I can't keep on loving you
Because you're too in love with Him.

And you've already moved on,
So it's not like this will haunt you.
But to be with you, I'd need to be Him,
and to be honest,
I just don't want to.
Good riddance to self-loathing. Welcoming self-acceptance.
