Maybe I need to fall apart
Maybe I deserve this broken heart
If you won't pick me up today
I'll put myself back together in a different way
Rip out the burnt up circuit board
Throw away the fears I love to hoard
If you can't save me from myself
I'll find my own way out of this hell
You're the strings that hold the stars in my sky
You're the gravity that stops planets from colliding
You keep me together
But you won't be forever
Someday soon I'll have to learn
Just to be and not to swoon
Abusive and confusing
I know the joy of losing
Too many times I've played the part
Always trying to fill this bleeding heart
Perfection is the devil's friend
Perfection will lead straight to the end
If you don't want to cry for me
I'll throw this heart into the sea
Let it float away and away
Because you won't be there to fix me today
I'm not sure if I'm still alive
I tried to teach myself how to fly
But I always needed your helping hand
To pull me down and help me land
I always fly a little too high
I let the little things pass me by
If you won't be there when I fall
I tell you now I'm done with it all
I could never just keep to myself
I always cried for someone's help
Maybe I need to fly on my own
Maybe I need to be alone
First time posting. Just looking for some feedback
