Why do you do this?
Come to me
tell me I'm what you want
tell me everything we could be.
I began to believe
the words you spun
instead of putting myself first
you became number one.
I felt the need to protect it
this little comfort we made
I thought I was helping you
but I needed to be saved.
As it bubbled to the surface
a time bomb ticking
I never saw
the poison at which my heart was licking.
The toxicity eroded
at the heart I had built
and from you
not one notion of guilt.
I wanted to save us
I never stopped trying.
You destroyed us,
you're the reason I'm crying.
And as my emotions
swim the depths of the seas
what gives you the right
to be who you want to be?
How dare you
take me for granted.
May I remind you
it was my second chance I handed
to you. And you destroyed it
ended up playing, hurting, and
toying with it.
Breaking me down into nothing
whatever nothing may be.
You wouldn't know
because you don't feel like me.
