Maybe it's different, maybe this time he'll change?
“Go ahead, keep telling yourself that. You know it’s not true.”
Maybe one day he’ll feel the same way?
“Why do you give yourself false hope?”
It’s like we spend all of our time waiting for a boy who will never change.
“But if you know this then why do you give in again and again?”
It's hard learning that someone will never change.
“You need to stand your ground.”
The way he satisfies my lonely urges…
“Build a wall, separate from him.”
I’ve built a wall, strategically of things that he’s good at so he could break it down.
I’m still the same vulnerable girl when he comes around.
It’s like I lose control of everything…
My brain doesn’t function and my body only moves in ways that he’d like it to.
“He treats you like nothing and you know this.”
It’s hard realizing that your feelings for someone will never be mutual.
They only want you when they can’t have you.
“You know he’s no good for you.”
