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!

I LOVE Y …never mind
