Sometimes I wonder why you’re emotions Only half linger in the light And why your other half just keeps Walking through walls. And then I get even angrier Because I can’t repeat the one, two-two of your step And I’m left standing here with a suitcase With no actual place to go then just out the door. Why have you lost all your faith in us? And if you lost it, then what else do you have left to show? Because God knows I can’t keep it for you
Sometimes I can see you standing by the window And I want you to hold me Like I might break But you’d rather just keep beating me down And I want to scream “She’s just a child, don’t break her!” Even though I’m a woman, and I’m a hollow shell. And I think that if you’re not going to keep me Then fine, just leave me the moon But please stop saying to just “pull yourself together” When you know I’m just going to pull myself apart Because that’s all I ever do
Sometimes I think that today might be the day That you cave in to me like a rock wall And let me fall on you Like you’re made of soft, feather pillows But instead I just fall into a salty bed That swallows me up Because you’ve got me in a place Where I cannot swim Then I start to think what’s left when the glass is gone? And why am I always in my “worst hour?” And I have to ask “you want me right?”
And I laugh because it’s funny that all this could be fixed Without any glue or staples, Just a simple phrase And for ****’s sake I’m just going to say it!
