It’s not that we are from different worlds
Or live to far
Or can’t make it work
If we tried

But I have trouble trusting your words
And what you say
I’m worth more than lies
Or fake forced smiles

I need someone constant, honest
Not just a fancy fling
Here’s the thing
Sweet boy
I’m smarter than you think
I read white lies.
And though you try
To smooth talk you way through me
I’m beautifully grounded
As strong as I can be

I’m better than this
And smart to know
You’re no good for me
It’s time I let go.

I know where this will lead
And I have to believe
I’ll find someone good
Who will love me the way
I wish you could

I’ve settled for less
And felt emptiness
But my head tells the story
You’re the one for me

I love you, Go away
I hate you, Please stay

My head is confused
My heart has been bruised
By the times I pretended
I needed you

Pluck my petals darling
Love me or love me not
Prune the dead stems
And watch me blossom

This potential person I want you to be
Is not the man you are to me
I’m a purposeful girl
With plenty of strength
To move myself forward
And push through the pain
Eyes stay front
And feet be steady
I’ve let you go
Whether or not I am ready.
