Maybe I should not take you back
Over being constantly used
I shouldn't give you a second chance
How many mistakes have I excused?

Lost something critical
Had trust so many times before
It's possible it's gone for good
Couldn't take the ache anymore

And you will break yourself eventually
At this moment can't say when or how
All I know I recognize in your blue eyes
Hurt you insist on hiding right now

Feeling rejected by proud demeanor
Much as I hate to admit
Your indifference makes me feel
We live in a mold I do not quite fit

Like sticking expectations down my throat
Burning water fills chest
Hope that just for once you'll notice
I am actually trying my best

You are why I want to stay alive
Might be crazy
Swear it's true
To me it's the world that is a ****** up mess
Only thing that makes sense is you
