I thought you loved me too, but I should know better
Because when I love someone I put my whole heart into it and put more effort than I need to
So eventually the other person will think they don’t have to
Every relationship I’ve had has ended messily
Maybe it’s because I’m complicated, my life is cluttered
My emotions come out to play when everything is calm
When everyone is happy, I create problems
I’m broken glass, sharp, harsh
When you step on me, I’ll bite back
I’ll cling to you, ivy on brick walls
Because you were there for me
When I asked you to
You were the happiest thing in my life
Because I made you be there
And you didn’t say no
You didn’t love me back
But also didn’t say so
I can never make anyone stay
I can never make feelings stick
I wanted this to work so much it made me sick
But it’s over, and that’s okay
It’s okay
Even if it’s not
I’m okay
Even if I’m not
That’s okay too
You’re just a boy
They’re just boys
There’s nothing wrong with them
Just me
