It's weird
How when we talk
I always ask you questions
Like
"Do you like your job?"
Or
"What was your math teacher last year?"
Cause I want to know more about you
But you ask me questions too
Like
"Why do you change the subject so much?"
Or
"Why are you getting defensive?"
Or the classic,
"Why do you stop right in the middle of all your sentences?"
Cause you want to get under my skin
I can tell
You want to see
What cracks me
What breaks me
What makes me cringe
But that's ok--
I'm the same exact way!
The only difference
Is
What will you do with that information?

When I meet someone, I like to find out their insecurities right away, cause if they're someone who I think is pretty special, I want to make sure I don't talk about touchy subjects with them, or do things that make them uncomfortable. I want to know that kind of stuff so I can avoid breaking the person down.
However, with knowing these things, you could also cause a lot of damage to a person, and essentially break them, if you really wanted to.
This one boy is trying to break down my barriers, but I don't know if the intent is good or bad. I guess I'll have to find out....
