How do I make you truly love me
As deeply as you said?
Words you spoke out loud to me
Never matched ones inside your head

How do I make you miss me too?
Laughter, breath, and devotion
Are you capable of feeling
Greif or any emotion?

How do I make you care?
Enough to be a decent guy?
I am not asking for perfection
Just want you to ******* try

How do I make you share the truth?
You're not even honest with yourself
You built world of fantasy
To deny deteriorating health

How do I make you forfeit the drugs?
Tried to be an example, lead the way
The love in your heart wasn't strong enough
And I am starting to see you'll always drift astray

How do I make you love yourself for who you are?
Accept beauty of each scar
No one will stay if you don't
Hard to love someone who doesnt know who they are

How do I stop pain we feel?
Aching resounding in every bone
I cry when thinking about what we lost
Only if I am alone

How do I make you change your ways
Stop living life the way you do
Hardest question of these to answer
How do I quit loving you?
Just ketting out some pent up frustration haha
