I'm starting to think you don't know me The sweet words you say unarm me Leaving me feeling wanted I thought you understood when I told you I hated compliments? Especially when I don't know if they're true
You break the rules I have written around my heart You open your mouth and I start Wondering foolishly falling apart Crumbling Into feelings I might never get out of
You wonder why I can't make up my mind One day I'm happy next day I'm "fine" All the while changing , trying not to find Flaws in what's too good to be true
I roll my eyes In defense Hoping you won't see past the pretense Looking Into their depths And seeing the hope that lies
I'm fine with being alone I can keep my heart closed Do me a favor? Next time you think those sweet words? Bite your tongue.
