I lent you a whisper
But I wanted it back
It was only for you to hear
Keep it under your hat

I gave you a secret
It was detrimental to me
That you kept it hidden
Under bolt lock and key

I trusted you with the knowledge
Of how easy I break
And you said that you'd hold on to it
For goodness and my sake

I gifted you
More than half of my life
But I'm asking for it back
Because it is mine

You can stay
You can love me
Do what you please
But I need to make my own choices
My mistakes are a beautiful freedom
And hand to heart
I promise to learn through them

I forgot who I am without you
Always check with you first
And at a time it was cute
But now it's a curse

I'm not sure who I am with you
It seems you've taken her to
Trying to protect me
But making me rely
Dependant on you

I feel as if we are breaking
In two different halves
You've got mine
And I have your
heart

Lovers in time become
A whole
With two separate laughs
Lovers with objections
On the others part

There's a distance
And a closeness
And somewhere In between
There's a price we both pay
To be you and me

I love that you love me
With force and energy
But I hate that you take pieces of me with your jealous insecurities

I love you more than these words
I love you so much
That it often hurts
But there's nothing worse

Than a girl with freedom
She fought and battled for
And still she is caged
Wanting just a little more
locked in a cage
Released not often
When she does she runs with rage
Digging a hole for her coffin

Making it deep
Making it wide
So when she jumps in
There's enough air she won't die

I want me back
Me whole
I want the girl you fell in love with
And I want you to no

That I'll always love you
And most likely always be here

But I need to set boundaries
And you need to adhere

Because I'll love you longer
When I am stronger
I'll love you wiser
When you open your eyes up

Instead of simply slipping away
Why don't we as TWO people
Pave our own ways
Meet in the middle
And come together as one
Breath a little
Knowing we both have won

I gave you everything
Everything you now see
All I'm asking is for
Is for you to give back a little of me x
