Why do you keep saying you will change?
What's the mud that has you stuck?
Found a way to dodge problems,
Not every fall can be ducked.

Not even listening anymore,
Wrong it may be,
Devilish creatures boring holes inside
Carving out sweetness and sensitivity.

The lies you told to my face start to fade
But a crumpled shell of truth still lingers
And looks how I thought it would,
I have yet to unwrap myself from your fingers.

My heart is broken in more pieces than yours,
Do not let love be the reason you try,
Help me understand why you will not do it for yourself,
But will if it is for you and I?
You can't make someone change but you can be a reason to change.
