They say the ones that can really hurt you,
Are the ones close enough to do it,
Close to your heart,
Close to your life plug to pull it,
They could make you dry inside out,
Make you yearn for peace so much u dream it,

Make you hesitate to kiss when you lean in,
Miss the love while preparing for pain,

Some people would trade sides just to feel a stab from a loved one,
Because its hideous when they gone,
Trade the loud fights with being alone,
Wish silent radio had a sad love song,

You write letters that you'll never mail,
Staring at blank screens in hopes of texts you'll never get,
Turn into a stalker,

So Grab hold to the love you have,
Use both hands to squeeze it close to your heart,

Blister your hands before you go,
Because what comes next is a part yu don't know,

Shred your mind before you let go,
Be sure before you tip off of the fifty-fifty,
And ask yourself...
            Is your glass
                 half-full
                      or
           Is it half-empty?
